The Beartooth Highway

Described by Charles Kuralt as “the most beautiful drive in America,” the Beartooth Highway winds it’s way up to almost 11,000 feet as it travels some truly stunning mountain scenery. Snow can often be present year round and the road can be closed to due to early or late season snow storms. The growing season at these high mountain elevations is short. And while the road can certainly be traveled in a day, for photographers, camping in one of the many campgrounds along the route make it much easier to be on the spot for the best early morning or late evening light.
