Follow the suggested itineraries, or divide the commentary and create your own half, full or multi day sightseeing trips.
Beartooth Highway, Highway 212, travels through some of the wildest and most scenic mountain landscape in the country, and to say it's a stunning drive is an understatement as the route climbs onto a high alpine plateau that almost touches 11,000 feet.
Driving the Beartooth Highway on a warm, sunny summer day offers superb viewing as you make your way across a high alpine plateau and through passes in the mountains. Along the road, you will reach an altitude of just below 11,000 feet. Most of the enjoyment of this journey is simply the spectacular scenery and enjoying those views as you drive and use the overlooks. Along the way, you'll see highlights such as Bears Tooth View, Beartooth Pass, Clay Butte Lookout, Island Lake, Vista Point / Rock Creek Valley, and the West Summit Overlook.
Most roadtrippers who are driving the Beartooth Highway are doing so to either enter or depart from Yellowstone National Park using the North Eastern entrance.
