Pointing the Way

Pilot Peak (elev. 11,699 ft.) dominates the landscape along the Beartooth Scenic Highway (US 212). When aligned with Index Peak (elev. 10,709 ft.), its near neighbor to the right, Pilot Peak formed part of a makeshift sextant that helped guide early explorers in the direction of the fabled lands of Yellowstone.
