Gallatin Gateway
Perfectly situation right between Bozeman and Big Sky in the Gallatin River Valley, Gallatin Gateway offers mountain-town vibes with all the amenities one might need to have a splendid adventure.
This gorgeous “gateway” was named because it’s a major corridor into Yellowstone National Park. Once known for dude ranches, travelers now find themselves stopping and staying awhile in this friendly community on their way in and out of Yellowstone National Park.
The historic 320 Guest Ranch honors Montana’s rich history and pioneering spirit, offering a respite for horseback riding, fly-fishing world-class trout waters, skiing Big Sky Resort or embarking on an enchanting sleigh ride. It’s the kind of place to kick up your heels or just kick back and relax, also perfect for a Western-inspired wedding.
For Big Sky Country camping, pitch a tent in the Custer Gallatin National Forest at Spire Rock Campground and Spanish Creek Picnic Area. Nordic enthusiasts can cross-country ski into the Lee Metcalf Wilderness, or visit Kirk Wildlife Refuge, with fishing on the Gallatin River. Hike to Lava Lake or trek the Garnet Mountain Loop. There are no shortage of trails around these parts. At Montana Whitewater and Yellowstone Zipline Tours, family fun is on tap. Experience whitewater tours, scenic floats, river tubing, fly-fishing, horseback riding and ziplining.
