Getting to Big Sky from the airport

Bozeman and the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is about an hour's drive from Big Sky Resort through the scenic Gallatin River Canyon. Fliers can rent a vehicle from the airport in Bozeman or arrange a shuttle for the journey through the Gallatin Canyon—either way, be sure to arrange transportation early.
