Dining
Sweet Peaks Ice Cream's Kalispell scoop shop is at 343 South Main Street downtown, about 33 miles from Glacier National Park's West Entrance via US 2. The company has been scooping since 2010, when its first shop opened in Whitefish, and makes its ice creams, sorbets and non-dairy flavors in a Whitefish kitchen using ingredients such as huckleberries, Flathead Lake cherries and Missoula honey. Google lists it open noon to 9 PM daily at the inexpensive price level. It is a simple evening stop after a park day when you are staying in Kalispell.
