8 THINGS TO DO IN BIG SKY, MONTANA
[Music]
does it look like I'm on fire no hi
everybody for those of you who don't
know me I'm Shannon and I'm a Florida
girl who moved to the mountains I've
been living in Montana for almost two
years now I'm currently living in Big
Sky Montana which is a ski resort town
about an hour from Bozeman and three
hours from Billings Montana I'm going to
share with you guys my eight favorite
things to do in Big Sky Montana number
one is Shaq hunting so we learned about
Shaq hunting probably two weeks within
living in Big Sky in the summertime
locals build tiny little fort that you
can find in the wintertime when you're
skiing another Shack whenever you're on
a chairlift just peek into the woods
look for those bunny trails I wasn't
even looking for this point I was just
skiing sued trees and found it which is
so cool and they'll most likely lead to
a Shack I don't tell you where it is but
let's just say it's on the moonlight
side of the mountain people use the
shack for different things we personally
just thought of it as like a scavenger
hunt and try to find as many as we could
but others use them for reasons that I'm
sure you might be able to figure out
whose overall during our time in Big Sky
we found about 15 Shack there are
apparently 50 shacks out there they can
range from small little hobbit hole to
big double decker tree houses that you
can actually climb up just be careful
that you don't flip down when you're in
your ski boots climbing up that
treehouse there's some fun footage of us
leaving ribby shocks during our time
skiing at Big Sky Sun another one this
time the VW Beetle it looks like a movie
prop gone wrong listen
we're in a sack wonderful we don't know
where we are this one has the best view
right
Joey's in it your dough is out of us
look here's of you in front of that
Shack which is just absolutely amazing
whoever built this one did a good job
good thing I recommend doing in Big Sky
is visiting a secret cave this cave can
be found at Red Cliff campground which
is a short distance from Big Sky
probably about a 10 minute drive during
the winter the campground is closed
but you can just park your car at the
parking lot follow the footprints to the
cave it does require a little bit of
scrambling up the rocks but once you're
up there is a pretty cool place to check
out campground is so close for the
winter slash spring hopefully no bears
eat it hopefully you find like earth
people cave dwellers
cave dwellers Montana cave dollars only
if they're cool though you can also spot
the cave if you're driving along the
main roads big skies just look up along
the mountainside spot those Red Cliffs
we're looking out for the Imanol
[Music]
Thursday I recommend doing is the krail
Ramsey trail we just discovered this
probably two days ago and we've lived
here for six months in the olden days
the krail family owned what's now known
as the meadow is big sky they had a huge
working ranch with cattle and long story
short Big Sky resort accumulated this
ranch now there's a tiny Museum which
you can visit in the meadow epic sky
it's tucked between two apartment
complexes so it does feel a little funky
when you're you know trying to have an
historical afternoon during the summer
months you can tour their home I believe
it's on Saturdays and Sundays that the
doors to their home is open my next 70
on the weekend during the wintertime you
can still walk around but you just don't
have access inside of there the fourth
thing I recommend is eating at the river
house if you're obsessed with okra like
I am fried okra that isn't you need to
go eat at the river house it's a little
bit down the road from the guy however
totally worth it all the locals go there
you can get a fried chicken dinner for
seven dollars which includes the side
they have awesome margaritas wide beer
selection and best of all the
restaurants it's right on the Gallatin
River so easy river house
the battery on the weekends they also
tend to have live music so after a long
day of skiing or hiking it's a nice
place to unwind a thing I recommend is
Lone Peak burn you get your beer
samplers on what's called a ski sampler
so you're literally taking beer samples
off of the whole ski which is pretty
cool
their food is alright it's a sweet
potato fries and definitely cross your
fingers that they have deep fried
mushrooms as their special that night
no darn good next thing I recommend is
whistle fall whistle Falls is a very
short trail right off to the town center
of Big Sky Montana it's easily
accessible for those of all ages we
always like to bring our bear spray just
in case during the spring and summer
months who wants to go swimming but
there's a lot of foot traffic so you
don't need to be too worried one of the
locals love walking their dogs on this
trail you can even ride your bike super
cool about with the Falls is that the
waterfalls become frozen one of the most
magical things about winter and Big Sky
in my opinion 7 thing I recommend doing
in Big Sky is going to an event after
Resort Big Sky resort puts on some
pretty cool events as the locals
definitely take advantage of them we
went to a super cool event turned on by
Sam Adams beer company and well just
just watch

[Applause]
thing I'm gonna recommend is going to
Yellowstone National Park you guys big
sky is 20 minutes away from Yellowstone
National Park take advantage of those
trails nearby and go for a hike read
some cross-country skis their snowshoes
and go file a different part of
Yellowstone there aren't really any
thermal features around or at least none
that I have seen but you do get to
experience a unique part of Yellowstone
that not a lot of tourists flock to and
I'll link below a video of things to do
in West Yellowstone if you're looking
for other ideas of things to do so
that's all I've got for today if you
guys have any suggestions on other
things for us to see and do while living
in Montana please leave them in the
comments below
we're always reading them and know that
you have some insider tips thanks so
much for watching and we hope to see you
in Montana soon
