Mountain Biking Beehive Basin
#146 of 265 mountain bike trails in Montana
#11,682 in the world
A popular hiking trail leads from the Beehive Basin Trailhead three miles up to a little lake (a tarn) at the base of a jagged ridge in the Gallatin Range. Biking is legal as far as the wilderness boundary. From there it's a 15 minute walk to the lake. The trail is steep in places so you'll do a bit of pushing unless you're very strong. Coming back down is a blast. The scene at the top is stunning alpine with tarn, meadows and jagged peaks.

Exit Big Sky Mountain Village on either Beehive Basin Road or Crow King Road. The Beehive Basin Trailhead (known to Google Maps) is 2.6 miles from the village.
There is a genuine alpine feel at the top of this trail which is a little distant from the other Big Sky Trails. It's a ride you do for the scenery rather than the cycling pleasure, although the ride down is fun.
