In The US

Beartooth Highway was once dubbed "the most beautiful roadway in America" by CBS' Charles Kuralt. Starting in Montana, this drive takes you more than 10,000 feet into the air.
From this incredible elevation, you can see sprawling views of Yellowstone National Park, round canyons, glimmering mountain lakes, pine forests, wildflower meadows, and mountains.
The road has tortuous switchbacks and scary drops, so steer clear of reckless mistakes. Keep your eyes peeled for the intriguing rock that gives this road the name "beartooth."
You also won't want to miss impressive views of Pilot and Index Peak rising up from the mountains or Grasshopper Glacier on Lulu Pass-Goose Lake Road, #6493.
