The Beartooth Mountains stand as the loftiest range in Montana, boasting numerous peaks surpassing 12,000 feet and offering a plethora of extraordinary hiking trails. For adventure seekers, the region presents pristine alpine lakes, stunning plateaus, and breathtaking vistas awaiting exploration. A highlight of the journey is the renowned Beartooth Pass, acclaimed as one of the nation's most picturesque drives. The road winds its way up a series of switchbacks along the Montana-Wyoming border, cresting at nearly 11,000 feet and affording a panoramic view of the "bear's tooth" formation from which the range derives its name. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife along the route, as sightings of marmots, moose, coyotes, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, grizzly bears, and black bears are not uncommon.
