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.
