It has been a whirlwind the last week or so and we needed some time to rest. So we decided to stay in Big Sky for a few days and lay low. This is a big ski resort area and I wanted to check it out and see what it was all about. I’d love to come back in the winter and ski the mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we left the park on Sunday afternoon we stopped off in West Yellowstone for lunch. It was a tourist town. Lots of gift shops and over-priced food but we were thankful to get some pizza and a beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found this campsite about 45 minutes north of the town and it was a nice little spot. We hung out by the creek for a bit and then we headed up the road to the campground. Nothing special, just a flat dirt parking lot with a pit toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a farm right across the way. As we were making dinner, the horses from the form came by and gathered in the pasture close by to the van. There were quite a few of them. Maybe about fifty or so. All different colors and it was fun to watch them play with each other. They are so strong and graceful.<\/p>\n\n\n

Big Sky was pretty dead. I mean it was to be expected. It’s the off season. But I was expecting the town to have more to offer. There was one small street with a few shops and the community center seemed nice. But besides that there really wasn’t much going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The golf course was really nice and I spent the afternoons there. I didn’t play a round becuse it was a bit more expensive than I would have liked. But I did spend some time practicing my chipping. I think I want to focus more on practicing than playing this next month or so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the afternoon on Tuesday we hiked the Beehive Basin trail on the recommendation of a person I met at one of the coffee shops. It was a fairly difficult hike because it was uphill the entire way. But it wasn’t very long – about seven miles total.<\/p>\n\n\n

There were so many wildflowers on the trail. I felt like I was in The Sound of Music or something. At the top there was a small lake and there was a really beautiful view of the valley down below. We decided to hike a little further to the another overlook spot and we chilled up there for a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amanda was keen on hiking to the top of the mountain. It looked doable but it was a pure rock scramble for about 500 feet or so. I just didn’t feel comfortable with it. The rock looked loose and it was getting late. It didn’t take too much convincing to get her off the idea. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
