Whitefish Legacy Partners is bringing the holiday magic to the Whitefish Trail!
Starting December 13 and ending on December 19, the Lion Mountain Family Loop (a quarter-mile walking loop accessed right from the trailhead) will be illuminated each evening from 5pm-6:30pm.
VOTING: Three groups (Whitefish Animal Hospital, Hidden Moose Lodge, and Spring Recruits) decorate a section of the trail with Holiday lights and compete for your vote! Be sure to scan the QR code at the trailhead to vote for your favorite section!
PRIZES: Nelson's Ace Hardware has donated two prizes for this event--a $50 Ace gift card will be awarded to the group with the most votes, and an engraved Yeti cup will be awarded to one random voter just for participating!
DONATIONS: 'Tis the season for giving! There is a donation box at the trailhead as well as a QR code. Be sure to give back to Whitefish Legacy Partners after your stroll.
ACCESSIBILITY: We are happy to chat--please reach out with any questions about accessibility! Lion Mountain Trailhead has accessible parking spots and bathroom set on a gravel surface. The Lion Mountain Family Loop is a single-track, dirt trail that starts at the trailhead and is ~.3 miles long with minimal rocks and roots. This trail can be accessed by walking, using an off road mobility device, and wagons/strollers. Depending on conditions, spikes or winter traction devices may be necessary.
