About Flattops
The Flattops are a remote and rugged mountain range located in south-central Montana. Spanning over 1,000 square miles, the range features vast alpine plateaus, deep glacial valleys, and numerous jagged peaks. The terrain is predominantly rocky and steep, with large expanses of tundra, talus fields, and glacial cirques. Dense coniferous forests give way to alpine meadows and rocky outcroppings at higher elevations. The Flattops are part of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, one of the largest designated wilderness areas in the lower 48 states.
