Things To Do
Big Sky Town Center
Big Sky's hub for shopping, dining, bars and more. Blue Moon Bakery serves the best pizza in town. Check out Roxy's Market for grocery needs or if you forgot to pack a toothbrush. If you're in Big Sky early, be sure to check out the Farmers Market held every Wednesday from 5-8PM in Town Center. We still think about the best heirloom tomatoes we have ever eaten from the market two summers ago.
Ousel Falls
The hike to Ousel Falls is one of the easiest and most beautiful in the area. At 1.6 miles roundtrip, it's approachable and pays dividends in multiple vantages of the waterfall.
Beehive Basin Trail
This is one of our favorite hikes in Big Sky. At 6 miles out and back, it's no cakewalk, but the views are incredible. Expect Lone Mountain vistas, wildflowers, pine forests and more.
Horseback Riding
We embarked on horseback trails during Kelly's first trip to Big Sky, winding through meadows and even crossing the Gallatin River (twice). The guides are knowledgeable and happy to chat about the landscape and wildlife on the trip. Ask for Bucky!
Fly Fishing
Big Sky boasts some of the best alpine fly fishing in the U.S. With any luck, brown and rainbow trout will find their way to your net. Kelly isn’t much of a fisherwoman, but she loved her first fly‑fishing experience last year. For anyone interested in giving it a try, we highly recommend a guided trip with Wild Trout Outfitters. Ask for Ian!
Big Sky Golf Course
Hit the links at 6500 ft. This course offers spectacular views of Lone Peak. 18 holes, par 72.
Summer Recreation at Big Sky Resort
Big Sky Resort organizes many activities that take advantage of the beautiful Montana summer. Mountain biking, ziplining, archery, disc golf, kayaking and paddleboarding can all be enjoyed on resort property.
Yellowstone National Park
The West entrance to Yellowstone National Park is less than an hour away from Big Sky. Take a day or two to explore Yellowstone Park and send us photos of your adventures!
