This iconic log structure claims to be America’s highest elevation gas station, sitting at 9,600 feet with commanding views across Montana, Wyoming, and Yellowstone. The store stocks basics like snacks, drinks, and Montana souvenirs, while the small cafe serves simple hot food during peak season. The real draw is the location — you’re literally on top of the world.
Open seasonally from roughly late May through early October, weather permitting. The Beartooth Highway closes completely in winter, so this place hibernates under deep snow for six months. Expect crowds during summer weekends as this is a mandatory photo stop for most Beartooth travelers.
America's highest gas station with three-state views.
