Download or read book The Beartooth Highway A History of America s Most Beautiful Drive written by Jon Axline and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traversing the spectacular Beartooth Highway in Montana and Wyoming is an unforgettable experience. The unspoiled mountain scenery along the highway inspired famed news correspondent Charles Kuralt to label it "America's most beautiful drive," yet the story behind this engineering marvel is largely unknown. It is an epic account of man versus nature to construct a road through unforgiving wilderness. Built during the height of the Great Depression and rising 10,947 feet above sea level, the Beartooth Highway sparked an economic boom in Red Lodge, Cooke City and Yellowstone National Park. Understandably, it continues to leave a profound impression on people privileged to drive it. Historian Jon Axline tells the exciting and colorful narrative behind the origins and construction of the Beartooth Highway.

Download or read book Beartooth Mountains written by Patty Hooker and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name Beartooth suggests strength, rawness, and force. Indeed, the Beartooth Mountains are a power and are unsurpassed in splendor and beauty. The voluminous masses are said to compromise one of the largest contiguous areas in North America. Early natives came in search of game in both the high country and rich valleys, especially the Crows, who used the area frequently. Later, miners appeared in search of precious metals and developed gold, chrome, and platinum mines. Geographers came and scaled mountain peaks, defining, naming, and mapping. Cattle and sheepmen were also lured to the lush mountain pastures. Eventually, trails became roads, and the Beartooth Plateau was easily accessible upon the completion of the Beartooth Highway. With the creation of the US Forest Service, forestlands were surveyed and protected by wilderness status. Soon, dudes were upon the landscape, and an industry was created amongst the peaks and prairies of the Beartooths.

Download or read book Precambrian and Later Evolution of the Beartooth Mountains Montana and Wyoming written by Arie Poldervaart and published by . This book was released on 1958 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrounding the Bighorn Basin are several mountainous tracts, including the Beartooth range, which were formed by uplift and thrusting during the Laramian Revolution. Each mountain range exposes a core of Precambrian crystalline rocks, with peripheral drapes of Paleozoic and younger sediments. Results of geophysical work have served to emphasize the magnitude of vertical relief resulting in large part from Laramian movements. For example, the surface between the Flathead sandstone and Precambrian crystallines on the Beartooth Plateau is at 12,000 ft. above sea level, but near Red Lodge this surface is found to be more than 10,000 ft. below sea level. --Introduction, first paragraph.
