Incredible Scenic Beartooth Highway – Short Version – between Montana and Wyoming
“The most beautiful road in America” was coined by the late Charles Kuralt to describe this outstanding 67-mile corridor crossing the top of Montana and Wyoming. The highway opened in 1936 and was declared impossible to build by many engineers.
The Beartooth Highway is listed as a National Scenic Byways All-American Road. The highway is the quickest route between Red Lodge, Montana and Cooke City, Montana near the northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
At 10,947 feet above sea level (that’s over two miles high), the road is the highest elevation highway in the Northern Rocky Mountains. It is closed from mid-October to late May because of snow on the roadway, some years over 20 feet deep!
Be prepared for adverse conditions in the summertime since winds can blow over 100 MPH and 70-degree days can plummet to below freezing during sudden snowstorms!
