Montana's Most Beautiful Town?

This was really awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Cheers! ✌️

Ben Rover who built “Ben Rover Cabin” was my grandfather’s older brother. My parents and older brother used to visit there when my brother was a toddler. By the time I was around, he had moved to a veteran’s home in Spokane. Ben was a World War I veteran who had grown up near Kalispell, found Polebridge and loved it. He bought the Mercantile and ran it for several years.

Absolutely right!! Montana was the prettiest place I’ve ever seen in my life. Being a Hispanic I was worried about how the locals would treat us, but the exact opposite. Love you Montanan’s.

Beautiful spot, but BRUTAL in Winter.

Wow, CFs has changed a lot. Pole bridge is a good get away place. So many memories living in CFs. Thanks for the journey.

Me and my daughter was in Montana last August visiting Glacier Natl Park for 4 days and we went to Polebridge. Love it. Montana also has some very beautiful lakes.

I have family in Polson, this road trip looks right up my alley. Awesome, off the grid will be the new normal.

There is a massive cave system an hour north of Polebridge. One of those caves recently had its metal door ripped off and broken. When I asked the forest service ranger in Hungry Horse if it was Bigfoot, he didn't even blink and answered "maybe".

When I was stationed in Whitefish, Polbridge was part of our patrol area. There were a number of homes, but no electricity and but one phone on the front of the mercantile store. The mercantile had blocks of ice packed in saw dust in their basement from which the chipped enough each day to keep the cold drinks upstairs. When one entered the store the only thing one could hear was a wall clock ticking off the seconds.

My grandpa was a ranger at kintla lake for 30 years oldest serving park ranger ever he left in 2017 98 years old I have years and years of memories

Now that everyone and their brother is posting all over youtube about how great MT. is, everybody and their brother( sisters,cousins, uncles.....) are moving here. The infrastructure is being overrun, sewer plants can't handle the increase in load, the traffic issues are getting out of hand ( try to register a new vehicle) and fewer and fewer can afford to live here. "Living in Montana" is loving the state to death.

My wife and I were in Polebridge last week (late August of 2022) and it is awesome. We visited the mercantile and it was a cool little store. My wife had a huckleberry bearclaw and loved it. I bought a fresh loaf of jalopeno cheese bread, and just finished it last night. We spent time next door at the Northern Lights bar & grill. The food was great and so was the beer. If your in or near Glacier NP, Polebridge is IMO "a must see". The lady that owns the bar and grill was a pleasure to spend time with. It was on a Friday evening so they had live music. Two guys played and sang bluegrass & country music and really put on a nice show. We had lots of fun and we will be back. We stayed in "fairly" nearby Hungry Horse and the cafe attached to the Sinclair station made great omelettes. I apologize, but I don't recall the name of it.

When Tom Ladenburg owned the Polebridge store, they used to have an old crank phone in it. It would give you a shock when you cranked it. My late husband would be coaxed by his father and Tom, to turn the crank. They thought it was so funny when he got a little shock. That was back in 1963.

Spent every summer of my childhood there. Best memories ever! My great grandparents owned the old Haycreek Cabin.

Just spent time in Montana...BEAUTIFUL!!! Red Lodge is a cute little town. Lots of open roads in Montana!!!

Thank you for the tour of Polebridge. Loved your history the stores, business, real estate prices. My love interest is an all state volleyball player so loved that story as well.

Been coming to Polebridge for years! Best bakery anywhere. Huckleberry is the magic word here. Enjoy but please don't spoil.

We stayed at Polebridge last July to visit Glacier. Our cabin owner bought his property in 2016 or so with 12 acres for $250k, his property faces the mountains of Glacier with the Flathead Forest behind him. He built another cabin for $250k that he lives in while renting the other 2 and he said now his property is appraised for $1.5 million. Most beautiful area I ever visited where you feel like you are away from everything. People rely on solar power and propane for power. I love Montana but those long hard winters aren’t for me, lol.

Thanks for bringing us your video! I use to live about ten miles up that road from Columbia Falls back in summer of '85 to spring of '86. I use to live close to what is now the Big Creek Outdoors Recreation center, but on the east side of the road. I saw my first salmon run ever in the north fork River from the Camas road bridge. I also had my first bear encounter in October of '85. I was about 50 yards away from it when I had noticed it sitting under a big pine tree. Luckily it didn't seem too interested in me, but I did keep my eye on it until I was far enough away to turn around and hurry my stride. The paved road looks a bit better now than it did back then, so does the gravel road. The whole area appears more touristy now. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.

That was not a grizzly it’s cinnamon Black bear
