About this map

Beartooth Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape in Park County, where the topography is defined by massive formations like Beartooth Butte and Bird Mountain. The area is a complex network of alpine water bodies, ranging from the large Island Lake and Beartooth Lake to more secluded spots like Fantan Lake and Night Lake.

Modern access is provided by Highway 212, which connects established recreation points including Beartooth Lake Campground and Long Lake Campground. These sites serve as entry points to a wilderness marked by dramatic elevation changes, visible in features such as Beartooth Falls and the broad expanses of Table Mountain. The drainage patterns of Canyon Cr and Little Bear Cr illustrate the watershed's path through this high-country terrain.
