Visiting Big Sky in the winter is a blast, but it can be just as exciting during the summertime. With activities like horseback riding, archery, mountain biking and golf, the summer fun is endless.

Big Sky is the quintessential Western town where you’ll see a horse almost everywhere. Visitors get to immerse themselves in the untamed beauty of the surrounding landscape while horseback riding through Big Sky Country. You’ll witness panoramic views, lush forests, and maybe even catch glimpses of local wildlife. This equestrian escapade is facilitated by many outfitters including 320 Guest Ranch, Lone Mountain Ranch, Cache Creek Outfitters and you can even arrange horseback riding in the world renowned Yellowstone National Park

Tip: For more of that old west vibe, Lone Mountain Ranch has weekly rodeo competitions for all to enjoy!

Mountain Biking

Although many know Big Sky because of its world class skiing, its mountain biking scene is just as amazing. You can enjoy an exhilarating ride through the many trails in the area, no matter your level. Some popular trails include Garnet Mountain, Cinnamon Mountain Trail, Porcupine, Uplands Trail Loop, Mica Creek and among others!
