Afterword
Most travelers over the Beartooth Highway only see it in one season or time of day. This little booklet was my attempt to give a more overall view of this scenic roadway and opportunities for activities. Not mentioned were trout fishing in the many lakes and snowmobiling, to name a few.
No matter which season you visit the high country via the Beartooth Highway, you will find an adventure. If you miss the fall colors or the summer wildflowers or wildlife sightings, visit another time of year or time of day.
