Red Lodge

Few cities in Montana have a history as closely tied to coal mining as Red Lodge. Set beside Rock Creek beneath the Beartooth Mountains, this former coal town developed around mines that supplied the Northern Pacific Railway. Its early-20th-century commercial district preserves brick storefronts from that boom, while the Carbon County Historical Society and Museum documents the region’s mining and ranching past. Red Lodge is also the northern end of the Beartooth Highway, a seasonal mountain road toward Yellowstone National Park. Cafés, independent shops and local events give its compact centre an active small-town rhythm. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Montana’s Beartooth country.
