The Field Atlas
0/363Alpine chapter · 44.96° N · 109.47° W
A high plateau of tundra, tarns, and late snow, crossed by a switchback highway at nearly 11,000 feet. The roof of the northern Rockies.
The Beartooth is often called the most beautiful highway in America and is still empty compared with a national-park loop. Snowbanks linger beside the tundra in July.
