About This Drive

The Beartooth Highway is a bucket-list drive that climbs from the ranching town of Red Lodge through dramatic switchbacks to the Beartooth Plateau. a vast, treeless expanse above 10,000 feet where snow lingers into July. The descent toward Yellowstone passes alpine lakes, waterfalls, and meadows carpeted with wildflowers.

This route pack extends the experience with the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and a Yellowstone circuit, creating a 3-4 day adventure through some of the most dramatic landscapes in North America. From the alpine tundra of the Beartooth Plateau to the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone, every mile brings something extraordinary.

The driving is engaging and rewarding. long sweeping curves through mountain meadows, tight switchbacks on the ascent, and open highway through the Lamar Valley where bison herds cross the road at their own pace. This is big-sky country at its finest.
