The name Beartooth suggests strength, rawness, and force. Indeed,
the Beartooth Mountains are a power and are unsurpassed in splendor
and beauty. The voluminous masses are said to compromise one of the
largest contiguous areas in North America. Early natives came in
search of game in both the high country and rich valleys,
especially the Crows, who used the area frequently. Later, miners
appeared in search of precious metals and developed gold, chrome,
and platinum mines. Geographers came and scaled mountain peaks,
defining, naming, and mapping. Cattle and sheepmen were also lured
to the lush mountain pastures. Eventually, trails became roads, and
the Beartooth Plateau was easily accessible upon the completion of
the Beartooth Highway. With the creation of the US Forest Service,
forestlands were surveyed and protected by wilderness status. Soon,
dudes were upon the landscape, and an industry was created amongst
the peaks and prairies of the Beartooths.
