Spacious
One can see for many miles from this spot on Beartooth Pass.
I count at least 10 lakes or ponds from here. Long lake the largest in view, in the center.
Here looking south as one climbs Beartooth Pass. The Beartooth Highway climbs to 10,350 feet in Montana and 10,947 in Wyoming—the highest highway elevation in both states. The Absaroka mountain range is in the distance.
"The Beartooth Highway was opened on June 14, 1936. Heralded as one of the most scenic drives in the United States, the Beartooth Highway, a National Scenic Byways All-American Road, features breathtaking views of the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains, and open high alpine plateaus dotted with countless glacial lakes, forested valleys, waterfalls and wildlife."

A challenging drive as there are so many jaw dropping views as you drive the frequently winding curving road. Popular for motorcyclists as well.
