“The fish are plentiful, and they’re hungry. They like to eat, so you don’t have to be an expert, you don’t have to sneak up on them all the time … We have some exceptional guides here that can give you great instruction, and they’re pretty much on a first name basis with most of the fish out here, so they can show you where the fish are.”

Happy Father's Day! 💚 To celebrate, we're sharing some Dad-approved tips for your next U.S. Rockies Road Trip:
1. Plan Frequent Stops: Kids have short attention spans. Budget for breaks to burn off energy during travel days.
2. Pack Snacks: Opt for healthy and easy options like fruit, veggies, crackers and cheese sticks to avoid late-day sugar crashes.
3. Play Games: Classics like "I Spy" and "License Plate Bingo" encourage kids to look out the window and get interested in the scenery outside.
4. Bring Entertainment: Have a selection of books, crayons, stickers, small toys and a tablet for movies and shows.
5. Create a "Family Jams" Playlist: Get the kids involved by adding their favorite songs to your road trip playlist.
6. Plan Activities: Incorporate some adventure activities into the itinerary, like hikes, parks, playgrounds, swimming and attractions.
7. Allow Downtime: Balance out the itinerary with relaxation. A few leisurely mornings or afternoons make a world of difference.
8. Involve Everyone in Planning: Let the kiddos help choose destinations, activities, restaurants and accommodations for the journey.

How Grouse Mountain Lodge is Digging in on the Whitefish Trail in Montana When Pursuit’s Grouse Mountain Lodge signed up for the Whitefish Trail’s Adopt-A-Trail program, they knew they’d be working outside. What they didn’t know was that they’d really be digging in — to the trail, to the fabric of their team and to what makes their community special.
