Bitterroot Range

The Bitterroot Range is a stunning mountain range that straddles the border between Idaho and Montana. Extending for over 60 miles, the Bitterroots are characterized by rugged, glaciated peaks, deep canyons, and lush alpine meadows. The range is part of the Northern Rockies and shares geological features with the adjacent Anaconda-Pintler and Sapphire Ranges. The Bitterroot crest forms a dramatic divide, with the steep west-facing slopes dropping precipitously into Idaho and the gentler east-facing slopes flowing into Montana.
