Bitterroot Range

The Bitterroot Range is a rugged and scenic mountain range located along the border between Idaho and Montana. Spanning over 100 miles, the range is characterized by steep, forested slopes, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes and meadows. Geologically, the Bitterroots are part of the Northern Rockies and were heavily shaped by glacial activity during the last ice age. The range features a variety of rock types including granite, limestone, and metamorphic formations. Wildlife is abundant, with sightings of elk, bighorn sheep, black bears, and other species common throughout the region.
