Canyon Businesses Push to Market Beyond Glacier National Park

Summers in the Flathead are largely unrivaled anywhere else in the state, an advantage those in the tourism industry here use to their advantage. But after a particularly hard year, a new organization of businesses in the canyon spanning from Hungry Horse to West Glacier has formed to promote the area as a year-round destination.

The group, calling itself “Gateway to Glacier – the Canyon,” http://www.facebook.com/pages/Greater-Canyon/Gateway-to-Glacier-The-Canyon/345373926590 is working on ways to supplement its summer income with additional revenue from the shoulder seasons. This means relying less on Glacier National Park and more on the canyon’s resources, Doug Woehler, owner of the Historic Tamarack Lodge, said.
