Outdoor lovers can hike or mountain bike nearby peaks like Blue Mountain, Mount Sentinel, or Lolo Peak, or hit the slopes at Montana Snowbowl for excellent skiing and snowboarding in winter. Catch a concert under the stars at the KettleHouse Amphitheater, just 14 miles away, or float the Clark Fork for a true local experience.
