WHERE WILL THIS
SUMMER TAKE YOU?
Have you been longing for meadows of vibrant
wildflowers, lush green forests, crystal clear rivers and
one perfectly manicured golf course? We hope so, and
we can’t wait for you to arrive. The best part about hiking
through a field of Indian Paintbrush, making that perfect
cast or finding the fairway as the sunset illuminates the
Spanish Peaks, is you’re as alone as you want to be.
That being said, if you tire of the awe-inspiring, take
your breath away, whip out your bear spray type of
adventures, we have plenty of opportunities for human
interaction. Group activities focus on enjoying the
terrain around the Club, from Ousel Falls to Big Sky
Resort. Complimentary guided hikes, introductory
courses to mountain biking and archery, group runs
and bike tours are offered weekly. If the day or time
doesn’t suit your schedule, reserve a private instructor or
guide for the activities listed above, as well as trips into
Yellowstone National Park.
There are four sessions of Kids Camp this summer, two
in July and two in August. Grandchildren and friends’
kids are welcome and encouraged to attend. Please see
page 20 for camp session themes and details.
Hey Ladies! We conducted scientific studies this winter
to really pinpoint what it is you desire from a long
weekend with your best girlfriends at Spanish Peaks.
Allow me to introduce R3 on the Range. It’s less “boot
camp” and more beauty, health and wellness. Watch
your mailbox for the full invitation.
Chef Jan and the culinary team are confident that
all expectations will be surpassed this summer. The
complimentary members’ only Sunday BBQ’s begin on
July 10th and the flavors will be unique. This summers’
Chef’s Dinners are themed A Journey through Italy,
Southwestern Extravaganza and Where East Meets West.
Turn to page 14 to find out more.
Don’t miss Wednesdays with Weiskopf, the Tender Belly
Open, Men’s Weekend, the Guest Speaker Series and
the weekly farmers markets and free concerts in Town
Center. Please peruse the following pages for details on
all Club programs and activities as well as recreational
pursuits in Big Sky and beyond.
Your journey this summer starts here. We look forward
to seeing you soon!

15. We are very lucky to observe wildlife in our backyard
at Spanish Peaks. Did you ever wonder how elk could
grow such large antlers every year?
Only male elk, known as bulls, grow antlers. Antlers
differ from hollow horns of cattle, as they are
comprised of true bone. The bull’s fresh growing
bone is wrapped in skin with blood vessels, referred
to as velvet, which provides vitamins and minerals
necessary for the antlers to build up the bone. A healthy
bull elk can produce up to ten pounds of velvet in just
one year, and velvet wrapped antlers can grow up to
one inch in just one day!
Pedicles are permanent skin covered nubs that
protrude from an elk’s skull to support the antlers,
which begin to grow in late March or early April,
depending on the age of the bull. During the early to
middle stages of growth, the antlers are sensitive and
can damage easily if a bull is spooked running through
trees.
After the antlers are fully developed, a ring forms at the
base, cutting off the blood supply to the velvet, which
eventually falls off. At this point antler growth is complete.
The bull darkens his antlers by rubbing them against trees,
shrubs and the ground. Bulls that rub their antlers against
darker trees like Spruce or Pine will have darker antlers
compared to bulls that rub on Juniper or Cedar.
Shortly thereafter, it’s time for the rut - where the bull
rakes his antlers in a show of dominance to attract
cows or to duel with his adversaries for breeding
privileges. Once the bull has wooed cows to his harem,
the levels of testosterone decrease and the bull sheds
his antlers.
Bulls reach peak antler development between 8 and 12
years old. Older, mature bulls shed their antlers earlier
and begin re-growing new antlers earlier than bulls
that haven’t reached maturity. This is why serious horn
hunters begin looking for sheds in March, hoping to
find the largest fresh sheds. If you happen to stumble
upon an elk antler, keep walking around, as the other
one may not be far away!
BITTERROOT: The Bitterroot grows in low to moderate
elevations on open, dry or rocky shallow soils, among
sagebrush or grassland. It bears a single pink to
lavender or white flower and has a short blooming
season, varying from mid-May to late June. Lewis and
Clark are credited with the “discovery” of the Bitterroot
plant in the Montana valley, hence the valley’s name.
The Bitterroot was selected as the Montana state flower
on February 27th, 1895.
COMMON PAINTBRUSH: Most Montanans will readily
identify this plant as “Indian Paintbrush” but there
are 22 different species of Paintbrush in Montana.
Paintbrushes draw water and nutrients from nearby
sagebrush or grasses and produce nectar. The bright
red, scarlet or reddish orange petals attract immediate
attention and the flowers are edible.
SILVERY LUPINE: Ten Lupinus species grow in Montana
but Silvery Lupine and Spurred Lupine are the most
common in Big Sky and the Gallatin Canyon. Silvery
Lupine prefer pine forests, grasslands and subalpine
slopes. Spurred Lupine have a unique spur or sac on
the calyx. If you happen to see a white Silky Lupine,
take a photo, because it’s a rare treat!
GLACIER LILY: Commonly called Dogtooth Violet,
Glacier Lilies sometimes grow in massed abundance
in alpine meadows, appearing soon after snowmelt,
and sometimes push through retreating snow banks.
All parts of the Glacier Lily are edible and wildlife,
especially bears, enjoy feeding on them in the spring.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN IRIS: Also known as the Missouri
Iris or Blueflag, the Rocky Mountain Iris prefers marshy
soils on open plains and meadows at lower elevations.
Meriwether Lewis collected the wildflower in 1806. The
roots and the shoots are toxic, so take a photo rather
than a bite of this pretty flower.
BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO PICK HUCKLEBERRIES:
Late July to mid-August is the best time for harvesting
above 3,500 feet elevation. The higher you go, the later
in the season you’ll find ripe huckleberries.
HOW TO IDENTIFY HUCKLEBERRIES:
Huckleberries grow on tangled bushes with green or
reddish-green oval leaves. The berries sag low, under
the leaves. The easiest way to identify the bushes is to
simply peek under the growth and look for berries.
Huckleberries are a favorite food of Montana’s Grizzly
Bears, so when you head out on your huckleberry
adventure, don’t forget to sing your favorite tune and
always carry bear spray.

a pair of jeans, cowboy boots, a camera and a thirst for
adventure!

With towering rock formations, occasional wildlife
sightings and a few good soakings, rafting the Upper
Whitewater makes for a great day on the water. During
the month of June, this high-water adventure is a
very exciting Class III ride and age restrictions vary
with water levels. Throughout the summer, the Upper
Whitewater stretch is best suited for families with
younger children, looking for an introduction to rafting.
THE SCENIC FLOAT (CLASS I– II)
This is a great trip for those who want a mellow cruise
through stunning scenery, under the shadows of Lone
Mountain. The Scenic Float meanders through the
upper canyon where wildlife sightings of deer, moose,
bear and elk are quite common.

19. Imagine floating down a stretch of the Upper Madison,
rugged cliff walls on one side, expansive views on the
other, a bald eagle resting on a Cottonwood branch
above, and one of Big Sky’s best guides coaching you
through each cast, teaching you about fly selection to
“match the hatch”. As a cloud passes in front of the sun,
your guide tells you to cast to that riffle of water right
off the bank. Next thing you know a big Brown Trout
rises to eat your dry fly after a carefully placed cast.
FISH ON!
Anglers travel from all over the world to fly fish in
Montana, yet we are within driving distance to five
world class Blue Ribbon rivers. Whether it’s your first
time picking up a fly rod or you mastered the double
haul years ago, Big Sky has seasoned, knowledgeable,
friendly guides, ready to take out any ability level.
Many clients are beginners who start with a casting
clinic and a half-day walk/wade trip on the Gallatin. A
full day float trip on the Yellowstone or Madison is an
experience of a lifetime and sure to reward any angler.
If you are seeking a truly unique Montana experience,
try a horseback ride to a serene alpine lake, followed by
an afternoon of float-tube fishing.
GALLATIN
The Gallatin is the most accessible river to Big Sky and
only a ten minute drive from the Clubhouse. Pullouts
along Highway 191 give access to pocket water and
deep runs where drifting nymphs may be the most
consistent, but a variety of hatches provide dry fly
anglers with plenty of opportunity as well. There is an
abundance of Mayfly activity that begins early in the
summer and lasts into the fall and Caddis Fly hatches
happen throughout the summer months. The key to
success on the Gallatin is to move frequently and
change your fly often if it doesn’t garner any attention.
MADISON
Impressive scenery, high trout counts and proximity to
Big Sky make a float trip on the Madison pleasurable
for the novice angler and a must-do for the serious
fisherman. The drive to the Upper Madison is
spectacular in itself, passing through Yellowstone
National Park and alongside Hebgen and Quake Lake.
Once on the river, anglers have a chance to catch
trophy Rainbow and Brown Trout, while enjoying
expansive views flanked by the towering Madison
Gravelly and Tobacco Root mountain ranges. The
famous Salmon Fly hatch begins at the end of June
when the foliage comes alive with the 3 inch insects.
When the Salmon Fly hatch subsides, grasshoppers,
ants, beetles and hatches of Mayflies and Caddis
continue throughout the summer.
YELLOWSTONE
The Yellowstone River is the longest undammed
river in the lower 48 states with excellent fishing
from its tributaries inside Yellowstone National Park,
through Gardiner, Paradise Valley and Livingston. The
Yellowstone is primarily fished from a drift boat as
the width of the river varies from 75 to 300 feet. Most
clients leaving from Big Sky will spend the day floating
through Paradise Valley, arguably the most scenic
stretch of the river, hooking into native Cutthroat,
Brown and Rainbow Trout. Similar to the Madison, the
Yellowstone has a great Salmon fly hatch. Trout like to
gorge on Salmon Flies and will travel to eat your dry fly.
At the end of July, typical Mayfly, Stonefly and Caddis
hatches are predominant. Towards the end of summer,
the terrestrial fishing begins and the Yellowstone offers
some of the best grasshopper fishing around.

20. The designation of Yellowstone National Park, the
nation’s first Park, initiated the movement of the
Natural Resource Policy in America, which protects
our homeland and favorite places. At Spanish Peaks,
we are fortunate to have this historic and monumental
National Park in our backyard. It embodies our
country’s heritage and conservation values.
There are now 407 National Park Units across the
United States. On August 25th, 2016 the U.S. National
Park Service will turn 100 years old. Help us celebrate
this special anniversary by recognizing the progress
throughout the years and taking part in all that our
National Parks have to offer this summer.
CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF CONSERVATION
The National Park Service wants everyone to join
the party and #FINDYOURPARK. The National Park
Foundation and National Park Service launched the
#FINDYOURPARK initiative to encourage people
to celebrate and connect with our National Parks
and Public Lands. Share your national park story
at FindYourPark.com and don’t forget to hashtag
#FINDYOURPARK and #SPANISHPEAKS.
In addition, on select days in 2016, all National Park
Service sites that charge an entrance fee will offer
complimentary admission to everyone. Mark your
calendar for these summer 2016 entrance fee-free dates.

JUNE 23: THE BLACK LILLIES
The summer concert series kicks off with the Black
Lillies from Knoxville, Tennessee, who recently
released their 4th album. Their music blends rock,
country, blues, bluegrass and jazz. After the release
of their first album the band made a quick impact on
Knoxville’s growing music scene. In 2014 Rolling Stone
Magazine selected the Black Lillies as one of the hottest
up-and-coming acts in country music.
JUNE 30: BLITZEN TRAPPER
Blitzen Trapper’s music evolved over the last decade,
bouncing from indie folk to art rock, to experimental
folk before settling into a rich brand of alternative
country. The band formed in 2000 in Portland, Oregon
and hit its creative peak with their 2008 album, Furr,
a collection of 13 songs that combined their many
influences into a unique Americana sound. Blitzen
Trapper taps into their ‘70s country and Southern rock
influences without losing their contemporary appeal.
JULY 4: THE TINY BAND FIREWORK DISPLAY
The Bozeman-based Tiny Band repertoire is a blend
of Motown, rock, soul and pop standards that keeps
the dance floor pulsing. With hits ranging from Stevie
Wonder to The Beatles, Michael Jackson to Adele,
they’ll get you out of your seat and onto the dance floor.
What better way to celebrate our country’s birthday
than with a dance party!
JULY 7: BAND OF HEATHENS
Formed in Austin, Texas, The Band of Heathens started
out as a spontaneous side project but soon became
a full-fledged rock and roll band. The group’s first
two albums were both live in 2006 and 2007, while
their third, simply called The Band of Heathens was
produced by Ray Wylie Huubard and released in 2008
on BOH Records. Band of Heathens gained strong
notices in Americana circles and has been described
as “country-tinged rock, blues and folk with an
audiophile’s aesthetic in musical gear and tones”.
JULY 14: JAMIE MCLEAN BAND
Jamie McLean and his music have traveled all over
the world and left many marks along the way. He has
played alongside Elvis Costello, Widespread Panic and
Dave Matthews to name a few. McLean’s Southern
Roots mixes with rock, blues, RB, funk and soul,
creating “honest rock and roll that pulls no punches”.

AUGUST 11: AMY HELM AND THE HANDSOME
STRANGERS
Daughter of musical icon Levon Helm, Amy Helm has
been making music most of her life and has received
many praises as a singer, songwriter and live performer.
Combine her deeply expressive voice and unparalleled
songwriting skills and Amy Helm delivers a timeless
sound when performing.
AUGUST 18: DEADPHISH ORCHESTRA
The Deadphish Orchestra (DPO) is a quartet of
Colorado musicians and close friends who played
Grateful Dead songs and Phish songs together. They
wondered what would happen if they tried to merge
the music of these two bands. The Grateful Dead are
an earthy, folky, bluesy band where Phish is sharper
around the edges–funky and more aggressive but both
bands have an improvisational approach to their live
shows, and it is in that spontaneity where the magic
really happens. DPO have conquered the unique
challenge in merging the two styles.
AUGUST 25: FRUITION
The first time they ever made music together, Fruition’s
three lead singer-songwriters discovered that their
voices naturally blended into beautiful three-part
harmonies. In the last eight years, the Portland,
Oregon-based quintet has grown from a rootsy, string-
centric outfit to a full-fledged rock band with an easy
but powerful grasp of soul, blues, and British Invasion
era pop. Last year saw them appear at Bonnaroo,
Northwest String Summit and Telluride Bluegrass
where Rolling Stone cited their artful choice of covers
and “raucous originals filled with heartfelt lyrics and
stadium-worthy energy.”
