There are many more activities here at "Blue Sky" and the surrounding area!!

   We have our very own, private, fly-fishing pond, (over an acre), on the premises.  Fish for Rainbow, Brook Trout or the rare Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout right here on our pond... or within 25 minutes of the cabins, for Blue Ribbon stream and lake fishing. (No fishing license is needed for our pond.)  Private fly-fishing lessons are available for a nominal fee.  Poles and tackle are included.  We also have ice-fishing equipment for the winter time.   

  You can hike the nearby trails, mountain bike right from your cabin or the nearby trails, cross-country ski or snow-shoe right from your cabin or into the Beartooth Wilderness.  Included at no additional charge are mountain bikes, a two-person kayak for use on our pond, snowshoes, horseshoes & Bocce Balls and sleds. Snowmobiles are permitted on the county roads.  We do not rent snowmobiles.

   We have numerous hiking trails of varying degrees within minutes of "Blue Sky"!  The Absaroka/ Beartooth Wilderness is over 943,000 acres!  Most people quickly discover that a day or two is just not enough.   With 944 lakes and nine major drainages, the Beartooths are also an angler's paradise!  About 350 lakes have stocked or naturally reproducing trout populations.  In this wilderness the vast majority of activity occurs in the Beartooths.  Even though the Beartooths attract lots of visitors, the area can absorb this use in a way that can give you the feeling you have the wilderness to yourself.  Instead of competing for designated campsites or huts, backcountry travelers can camp anywhere.  And anywhere is a big place in the Beartooths!!  You can hike to over 10,000 feet and experience the Alpine tundra or take an easy hike among the evergreens to a dramatic waterfall.   For trail descriptions and planning, we recommend the Falcon Guide Book entitled "Hiking the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness".  "Blue Sky" is centrally located near the East Rosebud Drainage.

  There is plenty of animal watching at "Blue Sky"....recent sightings include:  Gray Wolves, Whitetail & Mule deer, elk, moose, (moose just love our pond!) Black Bear, weasel, muskrat, Great Horned Owls, Bald Eagles & Golden Eagles, numerous hawks, Sandhill Cranes, Canadian Geese, Ruffed Grouse, Ring-Necked Pheasants, porcupines & more!

   Backpacking, four-wheeling, ATV, whitewater rafting, horseback riding,  guided river fishing & rock climbing are all located nearby through various different companies.  We would be happy to arrange adventures for you.    There is also golfing & Downhill Skiing at nearby Red Lodge Mountain.   Cross Country ski trails are nearby in Red Lodge or you can ski right from your cabin on the county roads.  You can also snowmobile on the county roads and into the National Forest.

   The Beartooth Highway, a thrilling mountain drive, which takes you up over 10,000 feet and  which Charles Kuralt called "the most beautiful roadway in America", is only a few miles away.

( Note: The Beartooth Highway is open only from Memorial Day to mid-October, due to heavy snowfall.) 

We are close to Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks.  Try a loop drive from Luther/Red Lodge over the Beartooth Highway into Yellowstone (the Northeast Entrance and back to "Blue Sky" via the North Entrance & Livingston, Montana to I-90 & Highway #78 to Luther.

  The world famous Home of Champions Rodeo, Iron Horse Rodeo (Beartooth Rally) & Festival of Nations take place in the summer months as well as a Norba mountain biking Race, Winter Carnival & many more festivities through out the year. 

   Please be sure to plan enough time to drive our mountain roads.  The roads are very well maintained but distances on the maps can be deceiving.  If you really want to experience the beauty of the Beartooths you will want to stop and explore along the way or maybe take a photo of the majestic Elk in the mountain meadow.  

   We hope you'll come experience the "Big Sky Country" and the serenity of "Blue Sky".
