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.

This truly is an amazing road. I'm so glad we drove this highway. The views are Stunning. We traveled from Red Lodge towards Cooke City (North entrance to Yellowstone). It took us 4 hours with a short picnic lunch stop. I was told by locals that if you don't stop at all, you can do it in 2 hours. I wouldn't recomend taking a camper thru this road. The roads just drop off with only a small guardrail on the side. Lots of pull offs. I will say, the stops are not well marked. You can look at a map and see a lake on the map but when you saw the lake on the road, it wasn't labeled very well. This made it hard to determine where you were on the road. Also, there was the Clay Butte Lookout Tower which was supposed to be a 3 mile gravel road to the top but just under 1/2 way up the road, it was closed. No sign at the beginning to tell you. You may want to check somehow to see if the road is open before starting the gravel climb. Also, there are not a lot of picnic stops so if you plan to eat lunch at a picnic table, your only options are at the "Top of the Mountain" store which had several picnic tables. Otherwise, there are a few campgrounds you can go into to find a picnic table. No other picnic stops along the road. The Top of the Mountain store was a nice souvenir shop that also sold snacks. The highest point on the road we saw was 10,947. We were told the temp at the highest point is about 20 degrees colder than the bottom of the mountain. For us it was only about 67 degrees in July. Since we were camping in Red Lodge, after driving the 4 hours thru the Beartooth Highway, we then had to return back to Red Lodge. We went thru the Chief Joseph Highway back to Red Lodge which had less switchbacks but also extremely beautiful. It still took 2 hours to return to Red Lodge. This makes for a long day. Definitly put this on your bucket list to see. You won't regret it.
