This takes you directly to Polson on Highway 93 from Missoula, which is the lower part of Flathead Lake which is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. A must see, IMO. Drive around the lake and hit Big Fork. Lots of money there and beautiful little town. You can also get there a round about way through some hilly 2 lane highway 83. Goes through Seeley Lake and some other small towns and cuts through the Flathead National Forrest. However it skips the drive directly around the lake and takes you directly to the top of the lake at Big Fork. The drive around Flathead Lake is a must so I'd go the first way. Cherry stands on the side of the road around Flathead Lake. World famous Flathead Cherries also a must.

Let me know where you are staying in Glacier. I've been there about 50 times in my life and can surely let you know things to do.

We rented a log cabin home that sits right on the north fork of the Flathead River near the west entrance of Glacier Park. It is located 25 minutes from Kalispell.
