Kalispell is a gem of a mountain town in Northwest Montana, centered with a picturesque downtown and surrounded by natural beauty.

The winter season, when a blanket of snow wraps the landscape, delivers its own unique charms, as I discovered while on a recent media trip sponsored by Discover Kalispell.

During my visit, I snowshoed in Glacier National Park (so peaceful), drove a snowmobile for the first time (harder than it looks), and made friends with the docile Clydesdale horses who pulled our sleigh.
