Where the road ends: Beyond the borders of Yellowstone

m

Backpacking in the Absaroka mountain range in Montana.

Most of us are at least somewhat familiar with Yellowstone National Park, having made the drive north to see spectacular wonders like Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs — not to mention opportunities to see bison, elk, wolves and bears — all from the safety and convenience of the family car.

What most of Yellowstone’s millions of annual visitors never see is an expansive and remote wilderness adjoining the park on its north side, located primarily in Montana. The Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area offers scenery similar to what you might find in parts of Yellowstone, but without the crowds, and certainly without the modern conveniences.
