Description

Leave a car at Rock Creek Resort south of Red Lodge for the shuttle. Park near the Wyo/Mt stateline on Beartooth Pass. Follow the trail from the trailhead there. After going through a small canyon you turn North and then follow the plateau. The trail comes and goes on the plateau, just stay near the crest and keep going North. As the plateau narrows and you begin to enter the trees a single-track appears. The trail bears left and descends over 3000’ ending back at Rock Creek Resort.

    The views from the Plateau are amazing. The downhill is amazing. This is one of the best rides I have done in over 25 years of Mtn Biking.
