The Snowy Mountains are the pride of Central Montana's "wild places". With a comparatively small surrounding population "The Snowies" (as the locals say) see very minimal human foot traffic, apart from the stunning views surrounding "Chrystal Lake", including "The Ice Caves",  an epic 800' tall limestone crag named "Grandview",and of course the lake itself. This subalpine lake is the only lake in the range and lies high up in the rock creek drainage at around 6,000'. All these features take up only a small portion of the western side of the range.

From the gate at the Montauk Lighthouse to the front of the "Cable Crossing" fence at Orient Point.

The route follows 27, 114 and 25, and you have to take two ferries. Keep the clock running while crossing.
