Now I'm making my way toward the lake but pretty close to the tracks which I find interesting. And there are these occasional tree-lined paths too or a bog to cross.

Whitefish is still a working railroad town. More than 400 workers are directly employed by Burlington Northern/Santa Fe, and hundreds of families rely on the highly-skilled—and high-paying—jobs that BNSF creates. Amtrak passengers arrive twice daily at the historic Whitefish Depot, and dozens of freight trains pass through the BNSF railyards every day, en route from Chicago to Seattle and all points in between. And the farms and ranches that surround our town continue to produce enough beef, pork, fruits and vegetables to feed the Flathead—and then some!
