Tower to NE Entrance

Length: 29 mi.
Picnic Areas: 1
Campgrounds: 2

The 29 mile stretch of road from Tower-Roosevelt to the North East entrance of the park is one of the underappreciated gems of the park. While geothermal activity in the area is low, wildlife abound. In Lamar valley, one of the largest packs of Wolves in Yellowstone, the Druid pack have made their home. Pebble Creek and Slough Creek are two of the best campsites in the park and the Beartooth highway climbs to 10,900 feet at Beartooth pass.

Features along the road to see (From West to East along the road):

Lamar Valley - Here you will see elk, bison, osprey, bald eagles, antelope, moose, black bears and grizzlies. The best time to see wildlife is in the early morning or late evening. Lamar Valley has the largest concentration of grizzlies in the park, and with a little patience and a lot of luck, you may see one. Be sure to bring along a pair of binoculars or a spotting scope. Lamar is also the best place in the part to see wolves. Again, early mornings and late evenings are the best time.

Beartooth Pass - Located just outside of Yellowstone, the Beartooth Pass is a marvel of engineering. Built in 1936, it winds 65 miles through the mountains to connect two small Montana towns that are only 35 miles apart.
