• Overview

Beartooth Mountains are located in south central Montana, U.S. and are part of the 900,000 acre (3,600 km²) Custer and Gallatin National Forests. The Beartooths are the location of Granite Peak, which at 12,799 feet (3,901 m) is the highest point in the state of Montana. The mountains are just northeast of Yellowstone National Park and are part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The mountains are traversed by road via the Beartooth Highway (U.S. 212) with the highest elevation at Beartooth Pass (10,974 ft, 3,345 m). The name of the mountain range is attributed to a rugged peak found in the range, Beartooth Peak, that has the appearance of a bear's tooth. The Beartooth Mountains sit upon the larger Beartooth Plateau, the largest true high elevation plateau in the United States. ^[1]
