Red
Lodge, recognized as the northeast gateway to Yellowstone National Park, is truly an undiscovered treasure that every Yellowstone visitor
should make time to visit. With its spectacular scenery, friendly
people, vast outdoor activities, and abundant wildlife, Red Lodge is
becoming an increasingly popular destination for Yellowstone National Park
visitors. Red Lodge is located approximately 58 miles from the northeast entrance
of Yellowstone National Park. The road, highway 212 also known as
the Beartooth Highway, takes you over
the magnificent Beartooth Mountains with spectacular views, lakes, rivers,
waterfalls, and year-round snow fields. In 2003, the Beartooth
Highway was designated as an All-American Highway. The region is also home to a
variety of wildlife including moose, mountain goats, bear, deer, marmots,
and many other
species. The drive has been widely recognized as one of the most
scenic in North America.
In short, Red Lodge and the Beartooth Highway are well worth taking
time to visit. The visitor that fails to do so is a visitor that has
missed something special in the Yellowstone experience. Make certain
that you don't miss out - take time to experience this hidden treasure!
