Set aside by Congress in 1978, the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness is located in south-central Montana with a small portion in northern Wyoming, just north of Yellowstone National Park. The Wilderness is home to Montana's tallest peak, Granite Peak, at 12,799 feet, it towers above Beartooth Plateau and anchors the Beartooth Range.
