About Garnet Range

The Garnet Range is a mountain range located in western Montana, known for its rugged terrain and diverse outdoor recreation opportunities. Spanning over 20 miles, the range features steep, granite peaks, deep canyons, and dense forests. Elevations range from around 4,000 feet in the foothills to over 9,000 feet at the highest summits. The Garnet Range is part of the larger Northern Rockies and sits just east of the Continental Divide, resulting in a mix of both dry, eastern slopes and more moisture-rich western aspects. This combination of geography and geology creates a variety of ecosystems and landscapes for outdoor enthusiasts to explore.
