|
The Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness gets its name from none other than the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountain Range. It also lies within Shoshone National Forest and also the Gallatin and Custer National forests. Absaroka is named after the Crow Indians, Absaroka meaning crow in the native language.The Beartooth area encompasses 225,855 acres and the Absaroka area comprises 64,000 acres. Both were set aside to protect the natural resources within in 1932. The Absaroka includes distinct metamorphic and otherwise volcanic rocks within its mountain range, Absaroka-Beartooth Mountain Range, including both mountain ranges because they are so close in terms of distance. The eastern section of the wilderness is mainly comprised of high plateaus of granite in the Beartooth range. This range is also characterized by several hundred lakes and alpine tundra.
