What’s Up? Big Sky
Hike Big Sky - Tiny Treks
August 7 and 20, 2021
The Big Sky Community Organization offers hikes for children ages 0-5 and parents looking to connect with other families in the community who have young kiddos. All trails are accessible by stroller. However, baby wraps and/or backpack carries are recommended for ease. Families are encouraged to travel at their own pace and to stop and explore along the way. Registration is required! Visit www.bscomt.org/hike-big-sky/ or call 406993-2112.
Saturday, August 7: Ousel Falls Meet at 10 a.m. at the trailhead
The Ousel Falls trail descends into the South Fork ravine to beautiful Ousel Falls and has several memorable photo opportunities along the way.
Friday, August 20: South Fork Loop Meet at 10 a.m. at the trailhead
Short but oh-so-sweet, this pleasant, forested 1-mile loop takes you through the woods and along the South Fork of the Gallatin River.
Music in the Mountains
Music in the Mountains continues this month with more concerts: The Bravo! Big Sky Festival August 13-14 and the fifth annual Mountainfilm in Big Sky event September 10-12.

These family-friendly events are held at Center Stage in Len Hill Park, one of the best outdoor venues in the state, right in the heart of Big Sky. The park opens at 6 p.m. each week, and there will be food and beverage vendors (including alcohol) and an arts activity tent for kids. Music typically starts at 7:15 p.m., but please check the Arts Council website for more details on these events.
Considering the current COVID situation, the concerts will be presented in a way that fits into any restrictions that may be in place. Like many things related to the pandemic, the need to be flexible and ready to adapt to Gallatin County guidelines is important. Concert attendees will not be required to wear a mask, but the Arts Council asks that you please respect those who choose to do so. The CDC recommends that those who have not received the vaccine continue to wear masks and advises anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms to avoid crowds and stay home.
