The Highest Road In Montana Will Lead You On An Unforgettable Journey

Everyone has different ways of relaxing, but for most Montanans, going on a long drive will typically do the trick. And when that drive is down the Beartooth Highway, you'll have plenty of places to stop and take in the views.

Described as one of the most scenic drives in America, the Beartooth Highway is a 67 mile stretch of US Highway 212 with breathtaking views of the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains.

On this journey, you'll climb to an impressive 10,947 feet above sea level.

Pull over every time you see a viewpoint -- it's worth it.

This is some of the most majestic scenery in the state, and that's saying a lot.

The route takes you from Red Lodge to Cooke City, dipping into Wyoming on occasion.

Not only is this one of the highest roads in Montana, but it's one of the most scenic.

The best time to take the drive is definitely summertime, so if you haven't, put it on your list for next year.

The highway closes for the winter due to the harsh weather in the area.
