Beartooth Mountains Basics

If the name Beartooth Mountains sounds dramatic - it's for a good reason. This area is considered the most awe-inspiring routes into Yellowstone. The drive through Beartooth Mountains takes around 2-3 hours and it will take you through 65 miles of mountainous terrain from Red Lodge to Cooke City. Visitors will experience what it's like to travel through some of the highest elevations in the lower 48 states. The area has 20 peaks over 12,000 feet in elevation, as well as majestic glaciers and hundreds of lakes, forests, and wildlife such as grizzly bears, marmots, and elk, bison, mountain goats, and mule deer. More than 900,000 acres make up the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness. The list of activities and lodging is endless here. Visitors can camp, warm up in a vacation rental such as a cabin or cottage, or they can book a room or suite at an area lodge or luxury resort. Activities include fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, wildlife expeditions, snowmobile tours, skiing, and more.
