What to expect
Beartooth Highway
As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;
Bears Tooth
No surprise that this jagged, tooth-like rock has provided this amazing drive with its name, and the whole mountain range in fact. It is a translation from that same descriptive name given by the Crow People. Sitting at 11,915 feet we'll enjoy excellent views across to it as we drive between the West Summit Overlook and the top of some pretty impressive switchbacks. There isn't a good sign, so we'll be sure to let you know the best place to see the Bear's Tooth.
The Clay Butte Lookout is home to a now disused fire tower, so you know it is going to have some of the very best expansive views. It requires driving 3 miles on an unpaved, but well-maintained spur road to access and is suitable for most regular passenger vehicles. A small visitor center operated by volunteers is found at the site in July and August.
Island Lake
This beautiful alpine lake is the location and setting off point for a host of activities including the most sought after campground on the drive. If we only stop for one lake on our drive - this should be the one. Hiking trails at the lake allow you to go as far as you feel energetic for and you'll enjoy pristine views. We recommend the Beartooth High Lakes Trail which follows the western shore of the lake. More committed backcountry folk set out from this location too. Boating and fishing are permitted on the lake and the Top of the World Resort has canoes and other gear available for rent.
Rock Creek Vista
On a drive with excellent views around every corner, the Vista Point Observation Site is notable place to stop. A short trail leads to a platform overlooking Rock Creek Valley with its U-shaped canyon carved by ice that was once a half mile thick. This is a stop not to be skipped.
Beartooth Pass
Every mountain drive has a highest point, and the Beartooth's is at the West Summit Overlook, topping out at 10,947 feet. A short, unpaved road takes just that little bit higher to make sure we squeeze out the best view possible. Even in the summer, weather and wind can be pretty fierce - but it can also be lovely and warm and still too. Just be prepared for anything!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
