The Beartooth Highway starts just outside Yellowstone at Cooke City Montana. What a drive and what views! The highway leaves Cooke City and soon dips down into Wyoming through the Shoshone National Forest. At the state line when re-entering Montana a series of switchbacks takes you to the high point of the road at Beartooth Pass Summit. The 360 degree views here are amazing! The road then traverses the Beartooth plateau to the Rock Creek Vista.

Just a stunning gorgeous place. Off the beaten path for many, this drive is unbelievably stunning. There really isn't too much more to say. Drove from Red Lodge into Yellowstone and the sights were magnificent. Surprised this entire location is not a National Park. I only wish I was young and strong enough to go backpacking in these mountains.

Wow, absolutely recommend taking this drive for some breathtaking views, but make sure the driver can handle switchbacks at high heights. Also make sure to check the weather before driving. We knew they were planning on closing the pass that afternoon and had already planned on driving back through Yellowstone. We made a few stops along the way to stretch our legs and admire the view, then packed a picnic and ate at some picnic tables in one of the towns at the base of the mountain.

We came upon this drive unexpectedly. I am so glad that we did. I have never seen such amazing scenery in my life. It is hard to put into words just how beautiful it is. I hope that I can make it back there again.

Tge Beartooth Highway was one of the most scenic and beautiful drive I have ever taken. The road is a destination. Make sure to stop at as many pullout that are offered for viewing. You will not regret putting aside time for this drive. I purposely decided to travel from Indiana to Wyoming just for this beautiful drive.

We were able to enter the highway from the southwest but it closed to the northeast from rain and snow in mid June. We ventured on foot at Beartooth Pass when Island Lake was closed with no trail access. That was a blessing as the climb and scenery were fantastic!

Amazing drive from red lodge to west Yellowstone . The Beartooth Highway was beautiful. Views were amazing and lots of places to pull over . Signs are lacking for some of the waterfalls and pullouts . It's best if you plan ahead to know where you want to stop and take note of the mileage . The drive up to beartooth pass from red lodge definitely has some tight , hair pin turns . Take your time and enjoy the drive ! There was a dusting of fresh snow towards the top and with the wind it was in the 30s. Take layers and dress appropriately even in the summer . Check the weather forecast as it can change quickly .

My sons and I decided to go up Beartooth highway since we were staying in Red Lodge. I am not a big fan of heights, but had to do it. It was exhilarating, beautiful and scary all at once. Sheer drops with the illusion the guardrails would help. Hard to take in all the beauty when driving up from red lodge, as it requires your full attention. Lots of gorgeous views and places to stop on the way to Cooke City. I would say a must do if you can.

Amazing views! Highly recommend driving Beartooth Highway! Great scenery, we saw mountain goats, & the stop towards the top - Vista Point- was so cool! Chipmunks everywhere & so cute. If you can stop ahead of time & bring sunflower seeds I bet you’d be very popular.

My husband and I along with friends road Beartooth Highway in 2014. We also rode it a couple of years before that. From the back of our motorcycle the views were awesome. I think it is one of the best highways ever. The scenery was absolutely breath taking.
