Big Sky at a Glance
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.
