With endless amounts of trails to explore and the Big Sky Resort Downhill Park, mountain biking makes for a popular thing to do in Big Sky and a great way to take in the local beauty.

The resort has more than 50 miles of mountain biking trails for all kinds of skill levels. Plus, because it’s a ski hill, you can take the lifts up the mountain and then ride down.

It’s definitely one of the best activities in Big Sky in the summertime, and you can experience the mountains at high speeds without a snowboard or skis.

2. Downtown Shopping

If you need a change of pace from all of the outdoor adventuring, spend a full day or an afternoon shopping in Big Sky.

Big Sky has a wide array of stores including outdoor gear, handcrafted jewelry, art galleries, boutiques, and home decor. An added perk is that Montana has no sales tax.

Take a stroll down Town Center Ave and check out shops like Sky Boutique, the Art Gallery of Big Sky, and East Slope Outdoors.

During my last visit to Big Sky, I left my husband at a picnic table to catch up on work and I headed down Town Center Ave to window shop. I was greeted by friendly faces in every store and found a wide variety of retail to shop.
