Echo Lake resident sues county over kayak tour decision

A property owner along Echo Lake is suing the Flathead County Board of Adjustment over its decision to approve a conditional use permit for a business that offers kayak tours from a private residence on Peterson Lake. Rowland and Jaimie Day, who own property along Echo Bay Trail, allege in the lawsuit that the permit approval will lead to more traffic on the narrow private road, increased vehicle conflicts, trespassing, noise and "interference with the use and enjoyment of their property." The lawsuit argues that the board's approval of the permit is illegal because the application failed to address concerns brought forth by other agencies and the public. Rocky Mountain Glass Kayaks offers guided sunset tours in LED-illuminated kayaks and operates tours throughout the Flathead Valley, including on Whitefish River and in Somers Bay. The company has guided kayakers through the string of lakes that includes Echo Lake, Peterson Lake and Abbott Lake since 2025, although it only applied for a conditional use permit this year. Property owner Maray Brinhurst previously told the county that the tour company received no complaints until the county sent letters to the adjoining property owners. In August, the Board of Adjustment voted unanimously to

For 50 Years, RMO Has Carved a Cultural Niche in the Flathead Valley

In 1976, after a young Don Scharfe was kicked out of the University of Montana for his lack of participation and after he worked for the U.S. Forest Service clearing Idaho’s trails, he showed up in downtown Kalispell with a $7,000 loan from his parents. He sold his truck and put a down payment on the 3,000-square-foot shop at 135 Main Street that had been housing Eagle Shoe Store since the building was erected at the turn of the 20th century.

Stella Hobbs has dream race to end cycling series season

Local cyclist Stella Hobbs crushed the Elite Women's Big Sugar Gravel race in Arkansas on Oct. 17, riding alone in the lead for the last 15 miles and finishing almost 2 minutes ahead of her nearest competitor. It was the kind of race many athletes dream of. The Life Time Grand Prix is a multi-discipline race series that attracts riders from around the world. It comprises six races, each with different terrain, equipment and distances. The shortest race is about 40 miles and the longest is around 200. Races are completed with either gravel bikes or mountain bikes. "The multi-disciplinary series is just such a cool way to diversify the training and diversify the racing," she said. "It puts all the athletes in this kind of really cool humble place of always having to rise to the occasion and it being different most of the time." Big Sugar is a gravel race of about 101 miles with 6,400 feet of elevation gain. Not only did Hobbs win the race, she did it in a dominating fashion, pulling away from the field with 15 miles to ride. No one reeled her in. No one came close as she crossed the finish

Logging projects moving more quickly under new federal forest policy

Flathead National Forest announced the Big Mountain Fuels Reduction Project on Feb. 20. A mere two months later, machinery was rolling, and timber was being harvested from the slopes at Whitefish Mountain Resort. Now, the project is nearly wrapped up as snow starts to fall ahead of ski season. A two-week public comment period was provided ahead of the 200-acre project, intended to protect the ski resort's infrastructure from wildfire risk. Deemed by forest officials to not have significant environmental effects and seen as addressing a high-risk area, the project was categorically exempt and authorized as an emergency. It represents just one of many local timber projects that are moving forward more quicky and with a narrower opportunity for public scrutiny following policy changes at the federal level. Locally, foresters say the new rules are generally proving to be more efficient, while conservationists express concern over environmental effects and a rushed public participation process. In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the immediate expansion of timber production in national forests. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins followed the order with an April 2025 memorandum declaring a wildfire emergency across 59% of national forest land. Emergency authorizations were
