Artist Point

Reviewed By Tommy599 - Two Rivers, United States

We crossed Chittenden bridge across the Yellowstone river; stopping first at Uncle Toms to view the smaller upper Falls, then on to Artist Point to view the MAGNIFICENT lower falls and the unbelievable colors of the canyon. It is IMPOSSIBLE to describe the majesty of this waterfall and canyon colors, so we will not even try,

Lamar Valley

Reviewed By FancyFree55 - Florida, United States

This route is an amazing drive into the park, with large herds of buffalo grazing in vast fields on both sides of the northeast entrance road. It seemed that our visit coincided with birthing season, when lots of calves were just joining families. They're an unusual orange-brown color, compared with the very dark fur of their parents.' Tourists parked all over the sides of the highway to stop for close-up photos these incredible animals. When I say close-up, I mean with a good zoom. Park signage warns you not to get nearer than 75 yards because the animals are very fast and, if they feel like their babies are threatened, they will charge. We were very fortunate to also spot a small herd of pronghorn elk grazing not far from the road and got some great pix. The drive itself is beautiful, with mountains off in the distance, and a river winding through vast green along and around the roadway.

Ousel Falls Trail

Reviewed By 423MichelleM423 - Orlando, United States

This was an easy hike through beautiful mountain scenery. The snow made for a gorgeous backdrop for our walk to the falls. The frozen falls are just beautiful! There is ample parking and the path is cleared even in winter. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for a beautiful walk/hike while in Big Sky!

Pine Creek Trail

Reviewed By LaurenEA91 - Chadds Ford, United States

This trail was about 25 minutes from where we were staying. Well worth the drive. Hike was a bit challenging and very rocky. Waterfall was a little over a mile from the trail head. There were other people on the trail but it wasn't terribly crowded.

Big Sky Resort

Big Sky Resort is closed for the winter season. We hope to see you summer 2020. This is Big Sky Resort, where 400 inches of powder fall on 5,800+ skiable acres and 4,350 vertical feet. Introducing two brand new Doppelmayr chair lifts as part of Big Sky 2025, our ten-year, $150-million investment at Big Sky. It’s the Biggest Skiing in America. But it’s not just getting bigger; it’s getting better. Vast diversity provides a big experience for every level. The only things that aren’t big are the lift lines, ensuring you get all the vertical you can handle. Unwind after a powder-filled day in luxurious slopeside accommodations so you can live big again tomorrow.

Really enjoyed the ski area...lots of different terrain and many untouched areas in powder days. Not as empty as we were led to believe but plenty of space!

I loved the steam phase, it was really cool! Also, it never stopped, or, at least that's what it seemed like.
