Whitefish is now one of Montana’s premiere destinations for outdoor recreation. But before its reinvention as a ski resort town, it was simply a sleepy little railroad town in the Northern Rockies. But something else happened as the city became well known for its outdoor adventures: The food scene went from average to outstanding.
There’s no doubt about it: Whitefish is a beautiful place.
