Four Itchy Feet

June 4, 2025. Whitefish, Montana. Day 14 of 170

Today, we embarked on a memorable hike along the Lion Mountain Trail in Whitefish, Montana. The trail, remarkably well-marked and meticulously maintained, stretched for approximately 6.5 miles and presented a manageable elevation change of 741 feet. The path’s excellent upkeep ensured a comfortable walking surface throughout our entire journey. We observed that the trail was popular among locals enjoying leisurely strolls with their dogs, and the weather conditions were absolutely ideal for hiking.

After our hike, we took a scenic drive through downtown Whitefish on our way to the grocery store. It’s a truly quaint town, charmingly nestled amidst the breathtaking Montana mountains, exuding a palpable sense of peace and a relaxed pace of life. The surrounding mountains, with their majestic peaks and lush forests, are a constant reminder of the wild, untamed beauty that defines this region. We are fortunate to be in Whitefish for several more days and eagerly anticipate sharing more of our adventures from this stunning location.
