A Mountain Retreat like no other

This is what
you’ve been looking for.

Reach out and grasp the serenity of a mist-shrouded mountain. Embrace a rushing stream. Reel in a trout, or a glimpse of a mountain goat. Lean into the breeze whistling through the pines.

Or not. Drench yourself in Class IV rapids. Snowshoe the trails of the Blackfoot and the Flathead. Ride a horse. Or white-knuckle one of America’s most spectacular drives.

Welcome to the Crown of the Continent, a stunning land of extremes where every soul can find their own adventure.

Welcome to Great Northern 441,
your perfect base camp.
