Travel

The town of Big Sky is full of wonderful restaurants, stores and cafes. Here are some of our favorites… Cowboy Coffee - A great place to start your day with a coffee in the center of town. The line can be long but the coffee and croissants are worth it! Ousel &amp; Spur - Our favorite pizza in town - take out &amp; dine in. Highly recommend a reservation as it is usually very popular! Tips Up - Our favorite bar and it is right across from The Wilson! It offers a fun atmosphere, good bar food and there is often live music. Blue Buddha - A great sushi spot. The Rocks - Amazing ramen and flatbreads. Hungry Moose Market and Deli - Cute market with everything you may need. Our favorite option to grab a sandwich to go for a hike. Shopping - There is no shortage of fun places to shop downtown. We recommend browsing downtown and popping in to the variety of stores. Some favorites include East Slope Outdoors, Bluebird and Montana Supply Co.
