THE BEATEN PATH

Located in southern Montana just above the eastern edge of Yellowstone National Park, the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness encompasses nearly a million miles of pristine backcountry. Featuring two distinct mountain ranges there are dozens of superlative treks and trails to explore, but there’s probably no better introduction to this area than the Beaten Path.

Capping out at 3000m (~10,000ft), the Beaten Path is a 26-mile high-elevation  trail of towering granite cliffs, sparkling trout-filled alpine lakes, crashing cascades, and lush meadows through some of the tallest mountains in Montana. It’s a shuttle hike, so the two trailheads are several hours’ drive apart, and the logistics add a little bit of extra adventure. We hiked it over three days last August following our trip to Big Sky, and highly recommend it.
