This is part 3 of a 4 part series of posts on the Beartooth Scenic Byway. If you want to see the first post, click on the following link: Highway to Heaven - Don't Pass this Up! (if you follow the links in the first two posts, you will get back to here).
The Beartooth Pass is named after the Beartooth Mountains. The Beartooth Mountains got their name from the shape of one of its peaks which resembles a bear's tooth. Named "Na Piet Say", meaning "the bear's tooth", by the Crow Indians, this narrow pyramidal spire (seen in my photo below) was carved by glaciation. I was lucky to also capture this majestic bird soaring in the sky and flying next to the bear's tooth.
There are plenty of beautiful scenery along the way. Check out this view of the Beartooth Butte at an altitude of 10,514!
