When it comes to summer at Big Sky, this may be an even better kept secret than Big Sky world-class skiing. For world class fly-fishing, none would dispute Montana as one of the premier domestic destinations.

The famed Gallatin (made famous in the movie 'A River Runs Through It') is so close to the Sioux Lodge, you can have your flies in the water in less than 15 minutes. Big Sky has the rare privilege of close proximity to the world class Gallatin river, a true blue ribbon trout stream. And just one valley to the east and west lay two other world class rivers, the Madison and the Yellowstone. For more on fishing opportunities, click here.

In addition to world-class fly fishing, many other summer opportunities are for the taking including:

• Horseback Riding and Llama Treks
• Whitewater Rafting, canoeing and kayaking
• Thousands of miles of Rocky Mountain Hiking with trailheads minutes from the Sioux Lodge and also in Mountain Village
• Mountain Biking
• The wonders of Yellowstone National Park
• Two distinct federally designated Wilderness Areas, the Absaroka-Beartooth and the Lee Metcalf Wilderness Areas. (Note- Within the borders of the Gallatin National Forest are The Absaroka-Beartooth area are active glaciers, alpine tundra, deep canyons, sparkling streams and more than 700 miles of hiking trails throughout the mountain ranges. The Lee Metcalf area has more than a quarter of a million acres waiting to be explored in the Madison mountain range, which includes the Spanish Peaks Mountains.)
• Golfing
• 18 holes Frisbee golf on Big Sky resort mountain (kids love it!)
• Guided tours and naturalism
