Connecting Red Lodge to the Northeast Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, the Beartooth Highway is a scenic route that passes through some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in North America.
It has been a popular tourist destination since it opened in 1932, but despite its popularity, the Beartooth Highway has steep grades, hairpin turns, and narrow lanes. Despite its difficulty to navigate, it’s a designated All-American Scenic Byway and is a must-see when you’re in the area.
