Northwest Montana
One of America’s Last Great Wildernesses
Northwest Montana is a place that resists easy description. It is the intersection of three mountain ranges — the Yaak, the Whitefish, and the Purcells — and the jumping-off point for some of the most spectacular protected wilderness in North America. Glacier National Park lies to the southeast. The 2.2-million-acre Kootenai National Forest surrounds the area on nearly every side. Lake Koocanusa stretches 90 miles to the southwest. Across the Canadian border, the Canadian Rockies begin in earnest within an hour’s drive.
The Wilderness Club sits at the center of this geography — seven miles south of the Canadian border, just outside the small town of Eureka, Montana, in Lincoln County. It is not a waypoint on the way to somewhere else. It is the destination, with adventure accessible from your front door.
The Wilderness Club is the ideal base from which to experience all the destinations, activities, and experiences that make northwest Montana unlike anywhere else.
