The Beartooth Highway

After leaving Red Lodge, Montana, we drove the Beartooth Highway from Red Lodge, Montana, to Cooke City, Montana. Heralded as one of the most scenic drives in the United States (Charles Kuralt described the road as "the most beautiful drive in America"), the Beartooth Highway, a National Scenic Byways All-American Road, opened in 1936 and winds its way for 68 miles through southeast Montana and northwest Wyoming and leads into Yellowstone National Park at its Northeast Entrance.  The drive features breathtaking views of the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains, and open high alpine plateaus dotted with countless glacial lakes, forested valleys, waterfalls and wildlife. The drive was nothing short of spectacular.
