The Beartooth Mountains border Yellowstone National Park to the Northeast with a spectacular high elevation landscape of wildly beautiful and dramatic peaks, deep valleys, remnant glaciers, and remote lakes. Hikes here keep you saying 'Wow!' and 'Where is everybody?' The Beartooth Mountains offer awe-inspiring, lake studded views and many hiking and backpacking opportunities. Wildlife is abundant here, but people are not. This area hosts mountain goats, pika, marmots, and incredible migrations of raptors in the late summer and fall. We haven't seen a wolverine up here yet, but they've certainly seen us, based on fresh tracks. We are stoked to get to take you here!
