Welcome to the Flathead Valley

Photo of Echo Lake in the Flathead Valley where a gray dock is in the center bottom that leads the eye into the lake. The lake is a mixture of green and blue where the rocks are visible nearest the viewer. There are small islands in the background with sandy beaches and trees in the background. There is one such island in the middle right of the photo that creates an inlet of the lake. The sky is filled with puffy, purplish gray clouds that loom over the scene.

At Bigflathead, we’re passionate about exploring and celebrating the Flathead Valley’s natural beauty, rich history, and the community spirit of Big Sky country. Despite our long tenure in this stunning state, we’re continually inspired to uncover new facets of the region’s cultural heritage and connect with its welcoming residents. From local artisans and food vendors to event organizers, we aim to spotlight those who enrich our community. Our journey includes camping in scenic spots, enjoying lakeside serenity, and hiking rugged trails, each offering a fresh perspective on the valley’s diverse landscapes. Through our Instagram, we share these adventures, capturing the essence of our travels and inviting others to experience the unique charm and allure of the Flathead Valley alongside us.

We will also post any of our best photographs that capture the beautiful Montanan nature in our Gallery. These photographs will be available as prints later. However, we also post photos of all our adventures on Instagram. These include photos of our trips to different shops, parks, and community events, in addition to what’s available in our gallery.

Join us at Big Flathead as we embark on a journey to uncover and celebrate the wonders of the Flathead Valley. Through our exploration of its natural landscapes, rich history, and vibrant community life, we invite you to follow along on Instagram and this blog. From serene lakeside scenes to the bustling charm of local events, our photographs and stories aim to capture the essence of this remarkable region. Stay tuned for updates on our curated gallery of Montana’s natural beauty, soon available as prints, and join us in experiencing the true essence of Big Sky country.
