The Beartooth Highway is a breathtaking, high-altitude scenic byway that stretches 68 miles along U.S. Route 212 between Red Lodge, Montana, and the Northeast Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Often called “the most beautiful drive in America,” it climbs to nearly 11,000 feet at Beartooth Pass and offers sweeping views of snowcapped peaks, alpine lakes, and vast wilderness.

The highway is usually open from late May to mid-October, depending on snow. It’s part of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, and the route is known for its dramatic switchbacks, rugged landscapes, and chance sightings of wildlife like mountain goats and marmots. It’s a favorite for photographers, bikers, and anyone seeking a stunning drive through the heart of the Rocky Mountains that inspires a deep appreciation for the wonders of Hashem’s world. .

Four Dances Recreation Area — just 2 miles east of downtown Billings on Coburn Road — is a 765‑acre BLM‑managed plateau known for its Native American history, geology, and sweeping views over the Yellowstone River .

Natural beauty: Rugged rimrock cliffs drop more than 500 ft to the Yellowstone, surrounded by sagebrush, grasslands, ponderosa pine, and cottonwood riparian zones

With easy trails and no crowds, it’s a local favorite for families, photographers, and anyone looking to step out into Montana’s natural beauty — without leaving town.
