We recommend doing the Tonni Matt Route, which is available all day long during the winter months. You can challenge yourself with the East Route to the Summit to get breathtaking scenery you won’t find elsewhere!
Glacier National Park
Lastly, Glacier National Park offers hundreds of miles of hiking trails and biking paths, which convert to snowshoeing routes in the wintertime! We recommend taking one of the self-guided walking tours along Lake MacDonald for an easier day or on the Going to the Sun Road for a full-day affair. There is no bad choice when you spend time snowshoeing in the wilderness here!
One thing to keep in mind when snowshoeing in Whitefish, Montana is that you can’t bring dogs on trail in Glacier National Park or Whitefish Mountain Resort.
