Soak Up Summer From Dawn to Dusk

Summer in Big Sky is a treasured time of year for visitors and residents, opening up endless options for the recreation-minded and the relaxation seekers alike. As the days get warmer, the rugged and scenic Gallatin River comes alive with rumbling whitewater and deep fishing holes.

If it's the quiet you're after, solitude can be found at the top of a peak, by a cold mountain spring, on one of the areas many hiking trails, or on a picnic in a wildflower-filled field. Or if you want a little more action, there’s horseback riding, golf, zipline adventures, epic excursions to Yellowstone National Park, and much much more.

And as the sun sets behind Lone Mountain, the stars fill up the vast sky and a slight chill takes the edge off of the warm sun-filled days. Now it's time to light the grill, dine at one of the lively or low-key restaurants, take in an outdoor concert, check out the weekly farmers’ market, or simply listen to the crickets sing in chorus. But enough daydreaming, start planning!
