A must see area is the Beartooths. The Beartooth highway is THE most beautiful highway in North America.

If you are an avid hiker, pick up the book "Hiking the Beartooths" by Bill Schneider. Park your Westy and hike to the beautiful Beartooth Mountains and spend a month. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!! There is good high elevation fishing up there as well.

If you have seen all of Yellowstone (I've been hiking there for years and years and will NEVER see it all, then go up to Glacier National Park. But, if your gonna do some serious hiking, bring along some bear repellent. Those pesky bears in that park are a little more aggressive than at Yellowstone. Just about all the Lakes and Resevoiuers offer good fishing. It really depends on what your looking for.

The best campgrounds that I haver found are a least 10 miles in! :) Because of the rapid change in weather conditions here in the mountains, come prepared.
