Food Scene
Best Value in Big Sky, Views are amazing. Ribs are spot on, sampler a good bet for the indecisive. The $7 fried chicken is a staple for locals, and can't be beat (includes coldslaw, bbq baked beans, whole kernel corn, cornbread and three pieces of chicken). TIP: Three normal folks can split a $7 chicken and the full rack rib dinner, mixing it up family style! With drinks, get out for under $40. Food mostly, but warm, lively and vibrant atmosphere: the place to be in Big Sky for running into others after a day rafting, fishing, riding horses or skiing. Watch the Gallatin River race by, feeding elk too. Enjoy a Coldsmoke or PBR with dinner, then stick around. Games for kids.

Hoof it from the house or drive 1-3 minutes and park at the trail head. From there, a one mile moderate walk following the South Fork of the West Fork to Ousel Falls. Runs biggest in June, freezes in deep winter. Pinic tables at falls and other places along trail. Vault toilet at trail head. Trail head one mile south (up) from MT Home Base.

Arts & Culture
Hard to imagine this is where T-Rex lived! The paleontologist Michael Crichton based his "Jurassic Park" character on lives here, and this is his life's work. Several full fossil Triceratops, some T-Rex mean lizard dudes and a planetarium; learn what to look for in this months sky or see a film. Its pretty rad, and maybe an option on the way in or out of Bozeman or BZN
