The Road to Rosebud: Scenic Beartooth drainage re-opens more than a year after historic flood

Last June south-central Montana suffered a historic 500-year flood. High water wiped out bridges and roads in Yellowstone National Park and the Custer Gallatin National Forest, as well as destroyed private homes and bridges. 

On August 4th, more than 400 days later, the Forest Service has restored access to one of the most popular areas in the Beartooth Mountains – East Rosebud Lake.

Here to talk with us today about the recovery efforts is Brett French, outdoor editor for the Billings Gazette.
