Bigfork, Montana, on Flathead Lake
If mountain-ringed Flathead Lake captures Big Sky Country's raw beauty, the town of Bigfork makes for an artistic counterpoint. The Riverbend Concert Series runs each Sunday of the summer through mid-August, while the Bigfork Festival of the Arts welcomes food, jewelry, and crafts vendors to the town on August 6 and 7. There's also Wild Horse Island, a Tom Sawyer–like preserve of pastures and pioneer homesteads—reach it via charter boat (406/837-5617, trips from $80 per hour for up to seven adults).
Where to Refuel: Bigfork Inn's chalet-style restaurant has an outdoor deck in the summer months and standout prime rib. 604 Electric Ave., 406/837-6680, entrees from $8.50 ($24 for the prime rib).
