A WORD OF THANKS ACCOMMODATIONS Big Sky outdoor activities are endless? The surrounding mountains offer an abundance of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, while the Gallatin River and surrounding rivers and lakes beckon fly-fishing, rafting, and kayaking enthusiasts alike. The Big Sky Resort offers an 18-hole Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, gondola rides, hiking and biking trails, a Frisbee golf course, dining and shopping. Big Sky is located within the Gallatin National Forest and adjacent to the Lee Metcalf Wilderness Area. Access to several backcountry trails awaits within just a few miles. Our Front Desk staff can help you select the right trail or mountain pass for your taste and experience level. If you'd rather ride off into the sunset, there are also several horseback riding outfitters located right in Big Sky, offering trail rides by the hour and by the day, and even dinner rides. Pristine mountain lakes, peaceful meadows and towering peaks await you. Please register as soon as possible so we can adequately plan for refreshments, lunch on Thursday and Friday, dinner on Thursday night, meeting room set-up and seating, and duplication of materials. TO REGISTER, PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM LOCATED HERE.
Tuition includes cost of all materials, refreshments, lunch on Thursday and Friday, and dinner and entertainment on Thursday evening. Return the completed registration form and a check in the appropriate amount, payable to Federal Defenders of Montana, to: Gail Brown, Seminar Coordinator |
