What To Expect
Clarks Fork Picnic Area
There’s a nice picnic area coming up in a few moments with up-close view of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River.

The 45th Parallel
Coming up in about a minute is a pull-out with a pretty cool sign that says “You’re Standing on the 45th Parallel.” The 45th Parallel is the circle of latitude that marks the halfway point between the Equator and the North Pole.

Clarks Fork Trail
So let’s talk a little bit about the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, whose Upper Fork parallels much of the Beartooth Highway from Cooke City to its junction with the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway.
• Admission Ticket Free
Crazy Creek Falls
Coming up in a few minutes is a small parking area for Crazy Creek Falls. The parking area is right across the highway from the Crazy Creek Campground but it’s easy to miss, so I'm going to point this one out when we get closer.

Beartooth Highway
As we're soon to see, the Beartooth Highway crosses some of the wildest and most scenic landscapes in all of America. Due to high snowfall and wild winds, it's impossible for road crews to keep the roads safely open in winter, so it's only typically open each year from the Friday before Memorial Day through early October, we can expect to see some new snow lingering in the higher elevations until early to mid July, and snowstorms can happen at any time. I've even seen them in the middle of summer.
