Big Sky Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Big Sky!
Outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers feel at home in Big Sky. Located only 20 mi (32 km) north of Yellowstone National Park, this town offers an array of outdoor activities. Known for its snowy mountains, Big Sky boasts two downhill skiing areas: Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin. The surrounding lands are rich with fish and game animals, and numerous guides can help guests bring home a trophy trout, elk or bear. Big Sky features several unique operations, including llama treks around Yellowstone and dog sledding in the surrounding mountains. With the Gallatin River running through the area, conditions for whitewater rafting and kayaking are great. Trails for riding, snowmobiling, ATVing and mountain biking wind through the wilderness. To top it off, Big Sky has a number of historic sites, such as Karst's Camp, which was once a dude ranch but is now preserved to show the history of the area.
