Private Guided Hike

Our summer Guided Hikes will take you on a two-hour hike on the trails at Big Sky Resort. Your guide will determine what the best route is for your preferred activity level and goals. You can also take the chairlift up and walk down—your private guided tour includes lift access.

Some common trails are Huckleberry, Thimbleberry, Moose Tracks, or Dreamweaver (with Gondola download).

Please note that Kircliff and the Lone Peak Tram are not included with Guided Hikes.

Summer and winter activities meet 15 minutes before the tour starts at the Snowcrest Building in Mountain Village.

In Summer:
Meet your guide at the corresponding A-frame sign outside of the Activities Center, next to Yeit Dogs.

• Adventure Zipline Tour: Yellow sign

• Nature Zipline Tour: Green sign

• Archery, Guide Scenic Lift, & Guided Hikes: Red sign

In Winter:
Activities meet outside of Mountain Sports on the snow-level patio. From the plaza, walk up the stairs on the left side of Snowcrest. Turn right to find an A-frame sign labeled “Sno-Go & Snowshoe Meet Here”. 

Here are the Google pinpoints of Snowcrest and Day Parking. 

We recommend carrying bear spray when recreating outside during summer, especially if you venture off Big Sky Resort property. Grizzly and black bears, mountain lions, moose, elk, and mountain goats are commonly seen in the area. For your safety and the animals', always view wildlife from a distance, make noise to alert animals to your presence, and carry bear spray. 

Our guides carry bear spray and are educated in wildlife safety to provide peace of mind while you explore.

Bear spray is a high-powered pepper spray used to deter aggressive bears or mountain lions. Be sure to acquaint yourself with the product (you spray it at the bear, not on yourself) by reading the instructions and watching how-to videos.

Bear spray can be purchased at Big Sky Sports in Mountain Village. Hey Bear, located in Town Center, also rents bear spray. Bear spray cannot be flown in checked baggage or carry-on luggage. If you have unused bear spray, drop it off at Big Sky Sports for safe disposal before your departure.

Fully-enclosed shoes are required for all of our summer activities and tours. Shoes like hiking boots or tennis shoes will protect and stabilize you on our rocky terrain.
