Summer in Big Sky, Montana is pretty darn hard to beat—warm days, cool nights, no humidity, and lots of sunshine. Activities at 320 ranch include horse back riding, hiking and fly fishing lessons. Montana is world-famous for wild trout. Two miles of the Blue Ribbon Gallatin River, made famous as the setting for the fishing scenes in the movie “A River Runs Through It,” literally run through the 320 property! There's a private pond at the ranch, free for all guests to use, so you don’t even have to leave the ranch to enjoy a day on the water. All fishing on rivers and tributaries requires a Montana Fishing License. You can find more information on fishing regulations at www.fwp.mt.gov/fishing/. You can also pre-purchase your license there or 320 can help you do it online at the ranch. A Forest Service Trailhead leaves from right behind the ranch property for some great hiking opportunities as well.
