| Spring Spring is a season full of beautiful snow-capped mountains and stellar wildlife viewing. Elk, moose, deer, and bear are abundant with their new-born young near the river as the higher elevations are still to snow covered to allow migration to higher elevations. The willows, potentilla, and wildflowers are also sprouting to life with vibrant colors. If you fancy wild rapids for your rafting trip, this is the time for it! |
| Summer The possibilities are endless! Long, northern days allow for lots of fun in the sun. The canyon is green with life, dotted with the colors of wildflowers. The snow has mostly melted by now, giving a new perspective to the surrounding peaks and scenery. Daytime temperatures are warm, making outdoor activities such as rafting and horseback riding extremely enjoyable. |

| Fall The cool, crisp, sunny autumn days make you feel alive. The flowers have gone, but the willows and aspens are turning vibrant shades of yellow and orange as the sun reflects off the golden grass. The first snows have fallen on the peaks, outlining and accenting the huge rock formations. The fall is a tranquil time in the Gallatin Canyon. |
| Winter Winter is a great time of year for outdoor activities here in the Gallatin Canyon. The connecting ski areas of Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin boast the most acreage of skiing in the entire United States. Snowmobiling in the Gallatin National Forest backcountry is also a fun winter experience.
