Drive Down The Scenic Beartooth Highway And Fall In Love With The Beauty Of Montana All Over Again
Going for a scenic drive in Montana often merely means climbing into your vehicle and cruising down any given highway. After all, the Treasure State is home to some of the most stunning highways and byways in the U.S., and there’s no better state for road tripping.
But if you’re looking to fall in love with Montana all over again and remind yourself of the many reasons you enjoy living here, we can’t recommend a better drive than the Beartooth Highway. There’s just something about this stretch of winding road that is incomparable.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Given its location, it should come as no surprise that the highway is only open seasonally. Plan a late spring (it opens Memorial Day weekend) or early summer road trip if you want to beat the mid-summer crowds.
To reach the highway from Red Lodge, just take U.S. Highway 212 and follow the signs.
Make the drive during wildflower season for a real treat.
Whether you're the driver or the passenger, you'll definitely want to take things slowly so you can take it all in.
And for a moment, you'll feel a bit like you're hovering above the Earth.
It's a quintessential cruise for all Montanans, whether you're heading to Yellowstone National Park or simply out for a Sunday drive.
