Although you’ll feel cozy and at home in your cabin rental, still reserve ample time to explore all Montana’s Flathead Valley region has to offer while vacationing in the area. Fall is the perfect time for your trip, as area towns offer plenty of fun activities to celebrate the season. To start planning your getaway, below are a few can’t-miss attractions to add to the itinerary. 

3 Ways to Spend Your Time in the Flathead Valley This Autumn

1. Visiting Glacier National Park

When packing a bag to take to the cabin rental, make sure to bring along a sturdy pair of hiking shoes. You’ll need comfortable footwear while exploring Glacier National Park. There are over 700 trails to travel. Blackfeet Trail is on the east side of the park, near the Blackfeet Nation reservation. On the trail, you can learn about the rich history of the region’s indigenous people and take in views of the Rocky Mountains. You can also learn more about the local plants and wildlife on a ranger-led tour of the park. 

2. Exploring a Corn Maze

Since opening in 2007, the Fritz Corn Maze has quickly become one of the most popular autumn attractions in the Flathead Valley area. Open on weekends through the end of October, visitors can try to find their way out of the intricate corn maze and zip down the large culvert slides. Visitors can also jump as high as they can in the bouncy house and try not to get scared in the haunted barn. The attraction is located across from 208 Birch Grove Road in Kalispell. 

3. Going to a Pumpkin Patch

A few well-placed pumpkins on the porch will make your cabin rental feel more like home, so head to Sweet Pickin’s Pumpkin Patch in Kalispell to find the ones for you. When you aren’t looking for the perfect pumpkin, get your heart racing on the patch’s gigantic in-ground jumping pillow. There’s also the opportunity to feed farm animals and take tractor tours. The attraction is open through October 31.
