Guide
This small timber welcome sign stands near Red Lodge, across US 212 from Rattin Campground, and marks the Beartooth Highway. It is a brief roadside photo stop; only pull over where parking is legal and fully clear of traffic.
Construction of the highway began in 1932 and finished on June 14, 1936. From Red Lodge, US 212 climbs toward Beartooth Pass; the corridor has scenic pullouts, interpretive displays, campgrounds and day hikes. The sign is a quick marker at the start of a much longer drive.
