Kalispell ….and the Greater Flathead Valley Kalispell’s rich history shows itself in the charming buildings along Main Street, in the homes that grace the tree lined boulevards, and the more than 20 parks with their rustic log gazebos and creeks that host winter skating. From the native tribes who hunted buffalo, golfers now play the challenging Buffalo Hill Golf Course. The timber barons and the farmers, who sought out the city as an economic hub, contributed to an invigorating economy that gives Kalispell its healthy personality. Growing gracefully into the 21st century, Kalispell blends the past, present and future with a state-of the-art regional medical center, an ever-growing Flathead Community College, three art foundries and high speed telecommunications. The shopping and dining bring tourists from all over the Northwest, including Canada, and the international airport easily connects this growing Montana town of over 20,000 with 6 major airline partners. In addition, Kalispell is the gateway to the Glacier National Park. Along the way, visitors and residents enjoy a charming arrangement of fascinating towns. Columbia Falls, historically industrial with its mills and aluminum plant, is perfectly placed along the Flathead River. With its history of hardworking folks, this charming town is reinventing itself as a treasure trove for “antiquers.” West of Kalispell is a land of lakes and lush forests. Abundantly private, yet close to town, the West Valley is the area’s best kept secret for horse properties, getaways for dreams come true, and ready-to-be-discovered lakeshore lands. There is something for everyone in the Flathead Valley. The options are endless-- the choices are breathtaking. It’s no wonder that Kalispell was named "The Best Mountain Town in America" by Mountain Sports and Living magazine.
