Trail Overview
Ridge Road is the backbone of the Elk Basin area. It starts in Montana and goes into Wyoming. This is mostly an easy route with access to several other trails in the area. There is a great campsite just on the Wyoming side with magnificent views of the Beartooth Mountains. This road is a mess when raining but dries quickly.
