Lightning Creek
A place for community and connection
Lightning Creek, on the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park, is a beautiful 640-acre section of land with five comfortable cabins that can sleep up to 30, nestled in the Taylor Fork drainage of the Madison Range south of Big Sky, Montana.
This land has been stewarded by generations of people who have had a deep respect for and abiding love of wild places. With 610-acres protected through a conservation easement with the Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT), Crosscut is proud to be the current steward of this important area of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
