Montana’s Beartooth Mountains are home to some of the most remote, rugged, and rewarding alpine climbing in the lower 48. With over two dozen peaks rising above 12,000 feet, and an abundance of alpine cirques and granite ridgelines, this range is a true hidden gem for adventurous climbers. In this guide, we highlight five of the best moderate alpine climbs in the Beartooths—routes that combine quality granite, high alpine settings, and a real sense of wilderness.
