If you are traveling by, why not stop by Big Bear Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Gallatin River; the Pole Gulch Trail offers hiking at its best. Big Bear Lake is usually a relatively waterless site; May is the month that gets the most rain, and February is when it's the driest. This lake is so wonderful. The skiing at Bridger Bowl is tremendous, and Gallatin Gateway Inn is a magnificent
| | | |
| | location to get some rest.
Big Bear Lake is wonderful enough to spend more than a day at, Moose Flat Campground is a wonderful local campground; if you're here, you could visit Moose Jaw Creek. The peak of Wheeler Mountain can be seen from Big Bear Lake; a good close by hotel is Bucks T4 Lodge. Good hiking is available along the Divide Trail, and you'll perhaps meet some people from Bozeman here.
At Big Bear Lake during the summer highs are in the 80's. | |

When the night sets in temperatures drop down into the 40's. High temperatures through the winter are normally in the 20's, and through the dark hours in the wintertime at Big Bear Lake temperatures dip to the 0's. This is no spot
for people who don’t like to have a good time. If you came to camp Langohr Springs Campground is a nice site to do that; hiking is a popular thing to do around Big Bear Lake; Red Rock Trail is a splendid local trail.
A day on
the slopes of Moonlight Basin is just what you need, and there are some pleasant whitewater spots on Gallatin River.
