Big Sky’s Beehive Basin trail was recently voted one of the ten best hikes in the world. The trailhead is located just minutes from our home and we can personally vouch for this hike…it’s great!
The work to get up to Beehive Basin is worth the effort. Beginning with views of the Big Sky Valley, this trail snakes its way along a trickling, snow-fed creek, across mountain slopes carpeted with wildflowers. Upon reaching the basin, a small unnamed mountain lake awaits you surrounded by open vistas, tall mountains, and SNOW! A picnic lunch on the lakeshore followed by some trout fishing or a snowball fight is sure to be on your agenda for the afternoon! (6.4 miles round trip)
