TRANSPORTATION
The closest airport to fly into is Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) in Kalispell, MT. Six major airlines —Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Sun Country, and United — serve the Flathead Valley. It is a 25-minute drive to both Whitefish and Columbia Falls, MT.
If you are open to a longer drive from the airport to the Flathead Valley area, you can look at flying into Spokane International Airport (GEG) ~4.5 hour drive, or Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) ~2.5 hour drive.
We will be providing a shuttle service on the wedding day to transport guests from Whitefish to Highland Hill Farms and back.
If you plan on extending your stay on the front or back half of our wedding weekend, we highly recommend renting a car so you can explore all that northwest Montana has to offer!
If you're here just for the wedding festivities, shuttles and taxis/rideshares will get you where you need to be.
There is a complimentary Shuttle Service available to and from the Lodge at Whitefish Lake and Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) - Advance Reservations are required for this service.
The Lodge also offers a complimentary shuttle to their sister property, Firebrand, in downtown Whitefish.
Ubers are fairly easy to come by, especially to and from the airport. You can also use a schedule-ahead taxi service like 406 Rides if you're not staying at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake.
We have reserved a block of rooms at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake.
