Take a step back in time on the Crail Ranch Trail, named after Big Sky\u2019s original settlers. This 1.3-mile trail provides a leisurely walk, run or bike through the historic Crail Ranch meadow.<\/p>\n
Starting from the trailhead at the Big Sky Community Park, walkers, runners and bikers will head west on a wide gravel trail. Shortly after departing from the park, the trail crosses Little Coyote Road and picks up again at Spotted Elk Road. The trail crosses one small bridge and meanders between both homes and the Big Sky Resort golf course, keeping Lone Mountain in view throughout. Most individuals walk, run or bike the trail out and back for 2.6 miles total, but you can also utilize the trail to travel from the east end of the meadow to the west end, or vice versa.<\/p>\n
Although this trail is located in a more residential area of Big Sky, it still provides excellent views, wildlife sightings and a serene environment. BSCO encourages you to detour about 100 yards south on Spotted Elk Road to visit the historic Crail Ranch for a walking history tour of the valley or a tour of the homestead museum itself. Through July and August, Crail Ranch is open and Sundays from 12-3 p.m.<\/p>\n
