The Way Less Traveled, located approximately three miles from Canada on the North Fork Road, deep in the heart of the North Fork Wilderness, is the Northernmost Bed and Breakfast in Montana. Close to the Wild and Scenic North Fork of the Flathead River for rafting or kayaking, the area provides excellent hiking and mountain biking opportunities, and is only 1/2 hour from the Glacier National Park entrance at Polebridge.
How to Get Here
Depending on your GPS, you may be led astray, so refer to the directions below!
Directions from West Glacier (Columbia Falls):
We are located on the North Fork Road (HWY 486) which is north out of Columbia Falls from Nucleus Ave. Coming into Columbia Falls turn north onto Nucleus Ave, go to the end of the street where it “T’s” at the Locomotive Park, turn right and keep going until you see our sign on the right side of the road. It’s about 50 miles and an hour and a half driving time. If you’re coming from Glacier Park, you can exit the Park on Camas Road which terminates at the North Fork Road. Turn right. Polebridge is about 13 miles from Camas Road and we’re 17 miles north of Polebridge, so 30 miles total. To avoid potholes and dust, the Camas Road is the best way to go. Do not trust your GPS or your personal navigation system…it will take you on Forest Service roads, many of which, even though they’re still on maps, are closed. Do not try to access the North Fork Road from HWY 93 North no matter what your Garmin tells you.
