Travel Directions from Boazeman Airport to Old Kirby Place passing through Big Sky

If you would like, you can get to Old Kirby Place by going through the Gallatin canyon and passing by the town of Big Sky. On this drive you follow the beautiful Gallatin River, the river that was filmed in A River Runs Through It. There are many hiking and fishing opportunities along with some spectacular scenery through out the canyon. Big Sky would be a fun stop as well. The resort operates the tram in the summer so you can ride to the top of lone peak. The views are amazing, you can see many mountain ranges including the Tetons. There are also some short easy hikes in town like Ousel Falls, which would be a nice leg stretcher. Beehive brewery is excellent to stop for a cold brew and there are many dining options available. Big horn sheep frequent the area and can be seen on the hillside just off the highway turnoff for Big Sky. After Big Sky you'll enter into Yellowstone National Park. There is not a gate or fee area on this stretch, you can just drive through. Mitch and I have seen a lot of wildlife on this stretch including bears. I highly recommend making a loop for the wedding so you can see a lot of scenery. Go the Ennis way one way and than the Big Sky way the other way.

West Fork Cabin Camp

This is the closest accommodations to the wedding, just a short walk across the bridge. However, all the cabins have already been booked for family and the wedding party. There is camping and RV spots available though that include showers and laundry. Also behind this is national forest and another campground all within walking distance. Between these two camping spots is where we are recommending guests who are camping to set up. Plus Barb and Chuck are wonderful hosts and can make some mean cinnamon rolls.
