Beartooth Mountain Guides

Beartooth Mountain Guides is your gateway to immersive mountain adventures in Montana’s rugged backcountry. Whether it’s a hike, an alpine rock climb, or a full expedition to Granite Peak, our passion is sharing the mountain experience with you. Located in Red Lodge, with offices near Cooke City, we operate in the heart of the Beartooth Mountains—remote, wild terrain on the edge of Yellowstone, offering some of the region’s best opportunities for mountaineering, rock & ice climbing, backpacking, and backcountry skiing.

Our programs range from beginner-friendly rock climbs and women-only backpacking trips to advanced winter camps and expedition preparation courses. All guides are highly experienced, and all programs are led under the direction of IFMGA/American Mountain Guide Akio Joy.

We proudly operate with permits from the Custer-Gallatin and Shoshone National Forests, making sure our trips are safe, sustainable, and deeply connected with the land.

Whether you're dreaming of summiting peaks, skiing untouched snow, or discovering alpine ridges, Beartooth Mountain Guides will meet you there.
