Charles Kuralt once called this highway the country's most scenic 69 miles of high-altitude
road zigzagging through the mountains of Montana and Wyoming. And he was right.
Climbing over to 10,000 feet, there aren't many other roads as compared to this
one. Nothing fails to give you an adrenaline rush - glacial lakes, tall mountains,
fresh waterfalls, stunning wild flowers and the occasional mountain bears - every
hairpin turn takes you to a different dazzling sight.
The Beartooth Road is a paradise if you are looking for some unique vacation ideas.
A single visit to it and your definition of adventure travel will change. As one
of the least acknowledged family-friendly vacation spots, this highway lets you
look at the breathtaking landscape without any hurry. Days are endless here and
the nights are spectacular. Stay here a little longer and you may get a chance to
walk in the shadow of the Beartooth Mountains or take a hike in the untouched canyons.
There's nothing more you need to be careful of than a cattle crossing your path!
The top-range mountain sometimes witness heavy snowfall during summers as well.
Its unpredictable weather allows the pass to be open only from May till October.
