Olney is between Whitefish and Eureka and was named for a local rancher. (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company) Olney is located deep in the Kootenai National Forest. The beautiful forested region has been maintained by the many forest service ranger stations and lookouts. Visible at the Stillwater State Forest Headquarters are some of the original buildings dating back to the 1920s.

Glacier National Park, east of Olney, is perhaps the last vestige of pristine wilderness left among the national parks in the continental U.S. Uncrowded and blessed with some of the world's most beautiful scenery, its 1.4 million acres of rugged landscape was sculpted eons ago by slow moving glaciers, 50 of which are active today. Wildlife abounds and the world's most scenic highway, The Going-To-The-Sun Road, cuts a swath through grand vistas.
