While America's famous journalist and travel correspondent Charles Kuralt called the Beartooth Highway "the most beautiful roadway in America," he might have overstated his case just a bit. Granted it's a judgment call, but for sheer beauty the Going-to-the-Sun Highway over Logan Pass in Glacier National Park leaves the Beartooth in the dust. Never-the-less, the lofty Beartooth that rises to 10,947 feet and has been designated a National Scenic Byway can't be denied its place among aesthetic grandeur. The chorus of accolades are well-deserved because it is beautiful, it is marvelous and other-worldly. It's a thin-aired land of cropped tundra and green lichen among the clouds and lingering snowfields and rolling alpine grasses, and deep, deep canyons and sheer cliffs and tall mountains and roaring, sparkling rivers - away from it all.
