To kick off our time in Montana we spent a week in Whitefish.

Driving To & From Alaska: Our Day-By-Day Guide
We enjoyed our drive up to Alaska far more than we'd anticipated. Despite the fact that we're on a 7 year, 50 state road trip, we don't enjoy driving long distances or spending a lot of time in the car.
