The Atlas/Montana/Kings Hill Scenic Byway (US-89)

Kings Hill Scenic Byway (US-89)

A 71-mile federally designated National Scenic Byway along US-89 through the Little Belt Mountains of central Montana, crossing Kings Hill Pass at 7,393 ft within the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The road winds through the communities of Monarch and Neihart, past Showdown Ski Area and Sluice Boxes State Park, dropping along Belt Creek via tight sweepers on both the north and south approaches. Minimal traffic and sweeping mountain curves make this one of Montana's best-kept riding secrets.
