Gateway to Glacier National Park
Perhaps the biggest draw for visitors staying at Rocky Mountain Hi RV Park is its proximity to Glacier National Park, one of America’s most stunning natural treasures.

Traveling the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road leads travelers to breathtaking panoramic views, while numerous hiking trails lead to jaw-dropping destinations like Hidden Lake, Avalanche Lake, and Grinnell Glacier. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and even grizzly bears along the way.
Flathead Lake: A Water Lover’s Paradise
Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, is just a short drive south of Kalispell. The lake’s crystal-clear waters provide ample opportunities for boating, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. Several public access points and state parks, such as the Wayfarers unit and the Big Arm unit of Flathead Lake State Park, make it easy to enjoy a day on the water. Cherry orchards dot the eastern shoreline, giving visitors a chance to sample some of the region’s famed Flathead cherries during the summer months.
