STEWARDS OF THE LAND

Come to Big Sky and you'll soon discover why it's such a special place.  Big Sky's wide-open spaces, rugged trails, and wild beauty are here for all of us, but they don't stay that way on their own. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong local, recreating responsibly helps protect this place, its people, and everything that makes it magical. By maintaining a healthy balance, we can keep our mountain air fresh, our night skies dark, our blue-ribbon streams healthy, and our wildlife safe and protected. All for future generations to explore. 

We share our roads, trails, and town with abundant wildlife, from bears and moose to foxes and ermines. If you're planning a trip to Big Sky, make sure you know how to be bear aware, stay safe out on the trails, and understand how to tread lightly in our landscape. Here, it's not about rules. It's about respect; for the land, the wildlife, and each other. Please join us in protecting the raw beauty of Big Sky.
