SPIRIT OF THE NORTH DOG SLEDDING BIG SKY FULL
Madison, also in the park’s western region, is full of unexpected treasures: Gibbon Falls, a 26-meter cascade over an extinct volcanic caldera fishing in the Madison and Firehole Rivers and Firehole Canyon Drive, a scenic road past 244-meter-thick lava flows to a popular summertime swimming hole, Firehole Falls. Walk the boardwalk through the steaming geyser basin in Norris, where the park’s hottest geothermal temperature was recorded (237 C!). From the park’s western entrance, you’re perfectly situated to explore its active geysers and check off Old Faithful and rainbow-hued Grand Prismatic Spring from your must-see list. Yellowstone National Park, the first national park in the USA, is just an hour south of Big Sky. No matter when you visit, don’t miss the high-altitude tram ride to the top of Lone Peak. Lee Metcalf Wilderness Area offers wilderness and recreation ranging from hunting and backpacking to kayaking and camping. Summertime visitors can soak in the rugged terrain with trout fishing and whitewater rafting on the Gallatin River, picnicking at Ousel Falls and hiking amid an ocean of wildflowers at Beehive Basin. Snow shoeing, dog sledding, Nordic skiing and sleigh rides round out the winter season. With few crowds and one of the most advanced ski lifts in the country, this is a true ski enthusiast’s destination. In the winter, snow blankets the mountain and reveals seemingly endless skiable terrain, including heart-pounding expert slopes from the summit of Lone Peak. Big Sky promises four seasons of outdoor activity.
