About Dry Range
The Dry Range is a rugged, high-elevation mountain range located in central Montana. Characterized by steep, rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, the range is part of the Rocky Mountain system and features a mix of sedimentary and igneous rock formations. The range is situated in a rain shadow, resulting in a dry, arid climate that supports a unique ecosystem of hardy alpine plants and wildlife. Glacial activity has sculpted the landscape, leaving behind deep cirques, U-shaped valleys, and serrated ridgelines.
