• Cooke City - The tour starts just outside the Yellowstone Trading Post, located at 207 Main St, Cooke City. To continue, proceed east on Beartooth Highway.

• The 45th Parallel - In about a minute, there is a pull-out with an interesting sign stating “You’re Standing on the 45th Parallel.” This latitude circle marks the midpoint between the Equator and the North Pole.

• Clarks Fork Trail - Let’s discuss the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, whose Upper Fork runs parallel to much of the Beartooth Highway from Cooke City to its junction with the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway.

• Crazy Creek Falls - In a few minutes, a small parking area for Crazy Creek Falls will appear. It is directly across the highway from the Crazy Creek Campground, but it’s easy to overlook, so it will be pointed out when closer.

• Beartooth Highway - The Beartooth Highway traverses some of the most untamed and picturesque landscapes in America. Due to heavy snowfall and strong winds, road crews cannot keep the roads safely open in winter, so it typically opens each year from the Friday before Memorial Day through early October. Expect to see lingering snow in higher elevations until early to mid-July, and snowstorms can occur at any time, even in summer.

• Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area - It’s definitely worth stopping for the views of Twin Lakes from here, and if it’s early summer, watch some dedicated skiers descending into the basin.

• Beartooth Highway - The Beartooth Highway crosses some of the wildest and most scenic landscapes in America. Due to high snowfall and wild winds, it’s impossible for road crews to keep the roads safely open in winter, so it’s only typically open each year from the Friday before Memorial Day through early October. Expect to see some new snow lingering in the higher elevations until early to mid-July, and snowstorms can happen at any time.

• Clay Butte Lookout - It’s highly recommended to make the three-mile drive to the lookout tower if time permits. The road is unpaved with many turns, making it unsuitable for RVs or trailers, but it should be easily navigable for most passenger cars.

• Beartooth Lake - The climb up to Beartooth Pass begins here, with many of the most spectacular views still ahead.

• Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area - It’s definitely worth a stop for the views of Twin Lakes from here, and if it’s early in the summer, watch some diehard skiers dropping into the basin.

• Red Lodge - Like many small western mountain towns, Red Lodge was established around mining. James George, also known as Yankee Jim, discovered significant coal deposits while searching for gold in upper Rock Creek back in 1866.
