Clarks Fork Yellowstone River Dispersed — Shoshone NF (US 212)

Along the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River in Shoshone National Forest's Clarks Fork Ranger District, this roadside pullout sits at around 6,900 feet on the lower descent of the Beartooth Scenic Byway (US 212), with direct views toward Pilot and Index Peaks. The small flat lot holds a handful of rigs on the riverbank — room for fly fishing, a cold-water swim off the rocks, and quiet nights once day-use traffic clears. The Beartooth Highway is seasonal, typically open late May through mid-October; this is active grizzly country, and the area has posted hard-sided-only requirements — verify current tent camping regulations with the Clarks Fork Ranger District before arriving in a soft-sided shelter.
