Things To Do
Big Sky Golf Course
Lava Lake Trail
One of our favorite hikes! The 6 mile round trip hike takes 3-4 hours, but view of Lava Lake at the top is worth it! Please bring bear spray if you're going on any hikes. Directions: The trailhead is located just off US 191 about 20 miles south of Gallatin Gateway and 15 miles north of Big Sky. The access road to the trailhead turns off US 191 at the Cascade Creek bridge. The bridge is where the highway makes a near 90 degree turn and crosses the Gallatin River.
Upper Beehive Basin Trailhead
This 6.3 mile round trip hike brings you to beautiful Beehive Basin Lake! Please bring bear spray on all hikes. *Turn off of Hwy 191 onto Lone Mountain Trail, follow the signs 9 miles to Big Sky Resort. Continue 1.5 miles past the resort entrance and turn right on to Beehive Basin Road just past the brown USFS Beehive Basin trailhead road sign. Continue up this windy road for 1.8 miles until reaching the trailhead on the left.
Geyser Whitewater Expeditions
The river will be low in August - meaning rafting trips will be more scenic/low-key. It's still a fun activity to see more of the area.
Big Sky Ski Resort
Check out the ski resort for hiking, ziplining, shopping and chair lift rides to the top of Lone Peak!

West Yellowstone is straight out of an old Western movie. Check it out for shopping and dining before you head into the park.
