About Red Lodge

Historic Red Lodge is a resort and ranching community with a colorful coal mining past and surrounded by natural beauty. The tourist town is busiest during the summer, with a small resurgence in winter for snow sports. If you decide to go up the Beartooth, which you definitely should, be aware it is a slow drive along steep switchbacks. There is a great lookout area partway up which is the normal turnaround point. Get out and enjoy the trail and the view from up high.
