9:32 PM LOCAL TIMEThe Gallatin Range cuts a dramatic arc across northwest Wyoming and southwest Montana, rising from fertile valleys to alpine plateaus and jagged summits. At its highest, peaks like Saddle Mountain and Mt. Holmes push around 3400 meters, while lower passes and individual mountains provide routes for multi-day hikes and backcountry exploration. The range is a mix of protected national park boundaries, national forest lands, and wildlife corridors, supporting populations of grizzly bears, wolves, and mountain goats. Visitors come for trail systems connecting to Yellowstone National Park, scenic drives, climbing routes, and solitude away from more developed areas. Whether summiting a trail-elevation massif, crossing a high pass, or descending into glacier-fed valleys, the Gallatin Range exemplifies the raw beauty and variable weather of the Northern Rockies.
