A Traveler's Experience
geoqueen on May 25, 2008 (traveled on June 6, 2006)Beartooth Highway (MT, WY)
I had visited this byway in 2003 and I did a summer geology field camp outside of Red Lodge in '06. What a beautiful place to see and spend time in. I could never get tired of driving over that road and seeing the views from there. And what a difference at ~11K feet. If you ever spend time in this area - take a drive up the highway at night. You can see the lights from Billings - very cool and the sunsets are awesome as well. I'm planning a trip out to OR/WA this year and... I'll definitely be making a side trip to the Beartooth Highway - it's one of my favorite places and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes driving, hiking, and great scenery.
