Fig. 1Pale walls of Clarks Fork Canyon
Landform
A pale limestone gorge where the Clarks Fork leaves the Beartooths. Sheer walls, a wild river, and the mountain front standing over the benches.
Field note
The Clarks Fork is a Wild and Scenic river before it calms toward the Yellowstone. The canyon is limestone, not the orange volcanic hills of the byway, and feels older. Few people leave the highway to look down into it.
