Whitefish Bike Park and Whitefish Trail

Lift-served laps on Big Mountain and the Whitefish Trail.

Whitefish Mountain Resort runs 23-plus miles of lift-accessed downhill and cross-country trail with more than 2,300 vertical feet, split into zones from gentle flow to big jumps and rocky drops. Down in the valley, the free Whitefish Trail loops through forest and lake views. Glacier National Park is 45 minutes away, which makes this an easy add-on to a park trip.
