Tell them that the Historic Tamarack Lodge and Cabins sent you!

Come to Montana , where the mountains call, and relax surrounded by nature's magnificence. The scenic and alluring greatness of theRockies brings you back to yourself. In this incomparable alpine playground you can fish for trout, hike or ride horseback to colorful canyons and waterfalls, photograph nature or enjoy impressive panoramas from amazing viewpoints. 

Here you can do it all - hiking, biking, horseback riding, golfing, photography, scenic guided tours, hunting, fishing, boating and floating until your heart's content.  For the shoppers, there are plenty of gift shops in the area.  Then, come home and relax at the lodge, dine in one of the valley's fine restaurants and unwind in the sheer beauty and spectacular scenery of GlacierNational Park.

The Historic Tamarack Lodge is located between the community of Hungry Horse, population about 900, and the entrance to GlacierNational Park. Hungry Horse is a charming little town, the perfect place for travelers to rest or get a bite to eat. There are several roadside stands offering various goodies made from native huckleberries - the best being huckleberry milk shakes!  

Hungry Horse is located on US highway 2, 20 miles east of Kalispell and 15 miles fromGlacierInternationalAirport. Whitefish is only 15 miles to the northwest. Hungry Horse Dam is just 4 miles from town and the beautiful reservoir is located behind it stretching 25 miles back intoFlatheadNational Forest and bordering the Great Bear Wilderness Area.

The 564-foot Hungry Horse Dam is the fourth largest and highest concrete dam in the world.  Unmatched scenery, wildlife, fishing and hiking are yours to enjoy. Hike the Bob Marshall Wilderness area, as well as the famous Jewel basin.

The outstanding Great Bear Wilderness Areas, to the south, and the dazzlingFlathead River on the north, border Hungry Horse. Fish the river, lake or streams that are home to rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout. Abundant wildlife and grand scenic beauty make the Historic Tamarack Lodge and Cabins a great base camp for hikers, fishermen, hunters, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers. TheFlatheadValley is also home to eight world-class golf courses!

The surrounding area offers outdoor adventures all year. Spring brings mild temperatures, while summer days stretch up to 16 hours, giving you ample time to sample a dazzling array of outdoor activities. Make the most of our stunning wilderness vistas and clear lakes and streams. Hunt or fish to your heart's desire. Play golf, wander in the wilderness or hike in national forests. Winter transforms the area into a winter wonderland covered in snow, but is generally accompanied by mild temperatures. Snowmobiling dominates the scene when the snow begins to fall. More than 200 miles of groomed trails and limitless play areas make Hungry Horse a snowmobilers dreamland. If you prefer the solitude of winter entertainment, the area around Hungry Horse and up intoGlacierPark provides cross-country ski trails and miles of skiing in the back country.

Glacier National Park’s mountain ranges were carved by prehistoric ice rivers. The park features alpine meadows, deep forests, waterfalls, about 50 glistening glaciers and 200 sparkling lakes.

The Going-To-The-Sun Road is a photographer’s paradise. Relatively few miles of roads exist in the park's 1,600 square miles of picturesque landscape, thus preserving its primitive and unspoiled beauty. Set in the rugged Northern Rockies,GlacierNational Park joins withWatertonLakesNational Park in Alberta, Canada . Together they create Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park World Heritage Site.

NearbyFlatheadLake is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48 states. The lake encompasses over 200 square miles and features 185 miles of shoreline. Recreation on and around the lake includes: sailing, power boating, waterskiing, swimming, fishing, picnicking and camping with plenty of public access points.FlatheadLake is located in the northwest region of Montana . The east shore is bordered by Montana Highway 35 and the west side of the lake is accessible from US Highway 93 between Polson and Kalispell.

Officials atGlacierNational Park report that two features have been added to Glacier’s web site: Podcasts and a newly launched cross country ski page. The public will play a valuable role in shaping the success and direction of these enhancements.

There are four test Podcast files currently available online. Podcasts are audio and video files that can be downloaded from a Web site and uploaded to an MP3 player with video capability such as an iPod. With this
technology, users can now take part of the Glacier Web site with them, away from a computer. Visitors without these players can still access and view these files using their home computers.  The Podcasts test page is available online now at:
http://www.nps.gov/glac/podcasts/podcasts.htm

Glacier’s new cross country ski page is the first page on Glacier’s site to utilize a new feature that allows people to share their own experiences and impressions of the ski routes. Using a map-based interface, website visitors can view maps and detailed information on the most popular ski routes in the park. Information from park staff and fellow visitors, as submitted, will be included. These public comments are achieved through a "submit" feature on the trail page. When the "submit trail report" button is clicked, it opens a new window where visitors can submit their trail comments for inclusion on the trail information page.  Subsequent visitors will therefore benefit from these first-hand reports.  The cross country ski page is available at: http://www.nps.gov/applications/glac/ski/xcski.htm
