Though Yellowstone National Park is quite the journey away from Wander Big Sky Basin, the experience is absolutely worth it whether in the summer or winter. In the summer months, you can explore the expanse of this unparalleled natural wonder with its geysers (like the world-famous Old-Faithful), colorful hot springs and diverse wildlife. There are, of course, endless hiking trails, mesmerizing waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints for you to be in absolute awe of.

In the wintertime, it’s just as magical with the blanket of snow covering the entire park. Winter in Big Sky consists of guided tours for snowboarding, skiing, and riding a snowcoach or snowmobile while relishing the outstanding beauty of this country’s oldest national park as an extension to your mountainous retreat.
