This employee-owned outdoor store sits on US 93 at the south edge of Whitefish, and for most west-side Glacier trips it is the last full outfitter before the park: clothing, footwear, camp and hike, hunt and fish, watersports, wintersports, golf and bike departments under one roof. Its rental desk is the practical reason to stop: bikes and e-bikes, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and packrafts in summer (2026 rates published), skis, snowboards, snowshoes and cross-country skis in winter, with a rent-3-days-get-the-4th-free deal and online booking for the Whitefish store. Hours change between ski and non-ski season.

Why stop

Why Shop Here
It turns a Whitefish day into an activity day without hauling gear: rent an e-bike for the Whitefish Trail, a paddleboard or kayak for Whitefish Lake, or a packraft, and pick up any camp, hike or fishing gear you forgot before heading to Glacier. Published 2026 summer and 2025/2026 winter rental rates, online reservations and a 4th-day-free deal make it easy to plan.
