Beartooth Mountains

The Beartooth Mountains are a rugged and stunning mountain range located in southwestern Montana, near the border with Wyoming. Part of the greater Rocky Mountains, the Beartooth range is known for its alpine tundra, dramatic cirques, and numerous alpine lakes and glaciers. The range's highest peak, Granite Peak, rises to an elevation of 12,807 feet, making it one of the most prominent mountains in the state. The Beartooth landscape is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, heavily forested lower elevations, and vast expanses of barren, windswept alpine terrain above the treeline.
