The trail becomes clear of snow about the first of July and the lift operates from mid-May through Labor Day. The fall season is an excellent time to walk the full trail, to the top and back again, with fall colors blazing on the mountain. A high trail provides an additional loop hike of 3.8 miles, through Flower Point, on an amazingly colorful alpine meadow. In the lodge's Great Room, the roof soars, and the huge rock fireplace invites you to relax on a couch, or look out at the landscape and wildlife. The lodge is set in a forest of pine, birch and aspen.
Nature trails lead through the woods, beside Whitefish Lake, and to the adjacent nature conservancy.
Each guest room features a full private bath, french doors leading to a private deck, distinctive Montana style lodge furniture, cable TV, and telephone. A full breakfast is served each morning, and guests enjoy complimentary afternoon beverages and snacks. Hidden Moose Lodge is open year-round and is a fine place to stay whether on a skiing vacation or enjoying summertime recreation. The lodge is highly praised by national travel magazines, and for good reason. Built of cedar timbers and decorated in a rustic Western style, the 6,000 square foot building features distinctive wood furnishings, with fabrics influenced by Native American art.
