Bear Mountain Merry-Go-Round

Experience the pristine beauty of the North Fork Valley and Glacier National Park, the only intact ecosystem in the lower 48 states! Home of wolf, elk, black and grizzly bear, wolverine, eagle, mountain lion, deer and moose. The sun rises over majestic peaks of the Livingston Range marking the Continental Divide to the east, and sets over the forested Whitefish Range. The unique and historic Polebridge Mercantile is nestled between the Continental Divide and the Whitefish Range, just a mile from the northwest entrance to Glacier National Park...no traffic lights, no crowds, no electricity, no hassles.

Polebridge is an ideal setting for your reunion, retreat, or mountain get away. Raft, canoe and fish the North Fork of the wild and scenic Flathead River or in nearby Kintla or Bowman Lakes. Hike gentle strolls to technical climbs in and out of the park. Bicycle to or from West Glacier or enjoy day trips to Bowman or Kintla Lakes.

The 'MERC' provides groceries, fresh ground coffee and home baked treats (Danish, bread and sandwiches, etc, ) gifts, gas, propane, film, fishing tackle and beer.
