Big Sky Summer 2020

​

All of us in Big Sky deeply appreciate the fresh air, mountains, rivers, outdoor space and all of our unique shops and restaurants. In order for Montana to stay open to all of us, Montana now requires face coverings to be worn inside all public places and outdoors when social distancing is not possible. Big Sky thanks all of you in advance for helping to keep our activities and businesses open for you!

​

The air smells so fresh and the open space we no longer take for granted. The colors are vivid, the sunsets are outstanding (stay tuned for our sunset photo blog), everyone is friendly, and seemingly always happy. You'll feel yourself relax as soon as you turn onto Lone Mountain Trail, it is the one and only road to the mountain.

 

If you're starting to feel like, "the mountains are calling", let us know and we'll help you plan. Our small town of Big Sky has become so popular, it is highly recommended that you make reservations and book activities prior to arrival if you have some "must dos". Call or text Carolyn at 406.551.0340 when you've decided "I must go!"

​

Big Sky Farmers Market

Our Wednesday night Farmers Market plans to open on schedule beginning June 17 through August. The Market takes in the Town Center from 5-8pm. This year's market is exciting with unique local cuisine, fresh vegetables and flowers, arts and crafts and is accompanied at times by music or a small performance of some kind.

Mountain Biking in Big Sky is loved by many. There is a wide variety of terrain to choose from. As for road biking in Big Sky, test your strength & endurance by biking from the Town Center to the Mountain Village and back (6 miles each way and it is steep!) and you many find Beehive Brewery to be the place to celebrate your achievement. We can always deliver rental equipment to your vacation home.

​

Fly Fishing

Montana is a world class fly fishing destination. If you're new to the sport, there are plenty of Fly Fishing Guides who will teach you and show you why so many people love to fly fish the Gallatin River right here in Big Sky.

​

White Water Rafting

Grab a guide and a raft and head to the Gallatin River for a big splash. Seriously, if you could see the photos of friends and families smiling as they maneuver the whitewater, you'll add this activity to your list.

​

White Water Kayaking

The Gallatin River offers Class II and Class III rapids. If you can take your eyes off of your line, the canyon scenery is breathtaking.

​

Lake Kayaks, Canoes, Paddle Boards & Paddle boats

Head to Lake Levinsky in Big Sky Resort Mountain Village where you can rent boating equipment. If you get tired of Paddle Boarding, no problem, just exchange it for a Paddle Boat, Kayak or Canoe. Or check out Kirkwood Marina in West Yellowstone where you can rent power boats for fishing, water skiing or just to enjoy being on the water with friends.

​

Horseback Riding

There are a number of guest ranches offering horseback riding as well as outfitters offering day rides. The ranches typically offer cabin accommodations with restaurants on site. Staying on a ranch is an unique experience you'll remember forever!

That's not quite everything, there's Yoga in the mountains, floating down the Madison, hunting, trips into Bozeman, wildlife photography one of a kind restaurants and shops, to name a few, all echoing the spirit of Big Sky!
