Big Sky, Montana

Travel America, May-June, 2004

Situated in the Rockies of southwestern Montana, the Big Sky area makes a good base of operations for summer vacationers eager to participate in wilderness activities and explore Yellowstone National Park, a short drive away. Places to stay range from campgrounds and cabins in Gallatin National Forest to upscale lodges and ranches.

Big Sky's Lone Mountain Ranch offers five different kinds of cabins, each with a wood-burning stove or fireplace. Recreational opportunities include hiking, llama trekking, fly fishing, canoeing, and horseback riding. The Discovery Club for kids offers a variety of nature adventures, while options for teens include rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and mountain biking.

The upscale Mountain Meadows Guest Ranch, with just seven guest rooms in an elegant log lodge, features gourmet dining, sauna and Jacuzzi facilities, and outdoor sports.
