Automobiles
Our version of a traffic jam is a herd of elk on the road. Driving to Whitefish is easy.
- Take US-93 North or South to downtown Whitefish.
- Turn north onto Baker Avenue and continue over the viaduct. Baker Avenue turns into Wisconsin Avenue. Wisconsin Avenue turns into East Lakeshore Drive.
- Turn right onto Big Mountain Road (look for the flashing yellow caution light over the road at the intersection).
- Follow Big Mountain Road approximately 5 miles.
- Turn right on Glades Drive across from the “Welcome” sign (look for the directional brown signs that say Base Lodge. If you pass under the skier bridge, you’ve gone too far).
- Follow Glades Drive to the Willow Parking Lot for free parking.
- Follow Big Mountain Road to the Upper Village (continue driving past Glades drive and under the skier bridge. Continue past Kandahar Lodge).
- Go around the Upper Village round-a-bout and park in Lodging Check-In temporary parking.
- Lodging Check-In is located on the Kintla Lodge boardwalk (look for the sign).
