Long Pines

The Long Pines mountain range in Montana is a rugged, forested landscape located in the southeastern part of the state. Characterized by steep, rocky slopes and deep, narrow canyons, the range rises abruptly from the surrounding grasslands and badlands. Elevations in the Long Pines generally range from around 3,000 feet in the foothills to over 6,500 feet at the highest peaks. The terrain is dominated by coniferous forests of pine, fir, and spruce, interspersed with alpine meadows and rock outcroppings. Wildlife in the range includes mule deer, elk, bighorn sheep, and a variety of bird species.
