most beautiful roadway" by Charles Kuralt of CBS news.
The store was built in 1923 on Beartooth Lake and moved
to its present location in the early "60s". Located
on the Shoshone National Forest, with ample amounts of camping,
hiking,

fishing opportunities through the summer season. When the
highway closes the opportunities change to ice fishing,
snowmobiling (some years through May) X-country skiing,
snow shoeing, and snow boarding.
