Activity itinerary

Clarks Fork Picnic Area
  • 10m
There’s a nice picnic area coming up in a few moments with up-close view of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. Note: This 63-mile-long tour covers the essentials of the Beartooth Highway in 4-5 hours.
Cooke City
  • 10m
Our tour begins just outside the Yellowstone Trading Post, located at 207 Main St, Cooke City. To continue the tour, head east on Beartooth Highway.
The 45th Parallel
  • 10m
Coming up in about a minute is a pull-out with a pretty cool sign that says “You’re Standing on the 45th Parallel.” The 45th Parallel is the circle of latitude that marks the halfway point between the Equator and the North Pole.
Clarks Fork Trail
  • 10m
So let’s talk a little bit about the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, whose Upper Fork parallels much of the Beartooth Highway from Cooke City to its junction with the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway.
Crazy Creek Falls
  • 20m
Coming up in a few minutes is a small parking area for Crazy Creek Falls. The parking area is right across the highway from the Crazy Creek Campground but it’s easy to miss, so I'm going to point this one out when we get closer.
Beartooth Highway
  • 10m
As we're soon to see, the Beartooth Highway crosses some of the wildest and most scenic landscapes in all of 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, we can expect to see some new snow lingering in the higher elevations until early to mid July, and snowstorms can happen at any time. I've even seen them in the middle of summer.
Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
It’s definitely worth a stop for the views of Twin Lakes from here and if it’s early in the summer, we can watch some diehard skiers dropping into the basin.

Clay Butte Lookout
  • 10m
I highly recommend making the three-mile drive to the lookout tower if we have the time available. The road is unpaved and a lot of turns in places so it’s not suitable for RVs or caravans but it should be easily navigable for most passenger cars.
Beartooth Lake
  • 10m
we start really getting into our climb up to Beartooth Pass and many of our grandest views are still ahead of us.
Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
It’s definitely worth a stop for the views of Twin Lakes from here and if it’s early in the summer, we can watch some diehard skiers dropping into the basin.
Lake Creek Road
  • 15m
There’s a really nice waterfall not too far from the road but it isn’t marked so it’s super easy to miss. I’ll be sure to point it out as soon as we get closer.
Red Lodge
  • 15m
Like many small western mountain towns, Red Lodge was built around mining. James George, also known as Yankee Jim, discovered huge coal deposits while looking for gold in upper Rock Creek back in 1866.
Rock Creek Canyon
  • 10m
It's now all downhill to Red Lodge and sadly, our best views are behind us. What are we? Are we going to turn around? No, let's just keep on going. It's not to say that we don't still have some lovely canyon views ahead of us. Our route will follow the path of Rock Creek, which begins high in the beartooths and flows more than 55 miles to its confluence with the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, just before it empties into the main Yellowstone River.
