The summer season is in full swing in Big Sky and at -RR. The weather has been fantastic - 80's during the day and 50's at night. The lush green grass (still green from all the May/June rain!), snow capped peaks, and bright blue sky is a brilliant backdrop for any outdoor recreation, be it fly fishing, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, rafting, golf, or touring Yellowstone!

So far we have hosted a number of wonderful weddings and rehearsal dinners at the lodge. Congratulations to the newlyweds. We love being a part of that very special day and helping to create memories to last a lifetime.

If you haven't seen it yet, there is a terrific three-page article on the Rainbow Ranch Restaurant in this month's issue of American Cowboy Magazine. Writer Doug Schnitzspahn sites the historical significance of the lodge and highlights Chef Donohoe and Proprietor Patrick Hurd's style, skill and accomplishment in the restaurant.

The Gallatin Field Airport, servicing Bozeman, Big Sky and West Yellowstone now has non-stop flights from San Francisco. Chicago flights have increased to twice daily and Atlanta is up to three flights a week. These are in addition to the long list of direct non-stop flights from Minneapolis, Salt Lake, Denver, Seattle, Portland and Detroit.
