Road type

A 12-mile paved state highway on the Blackfeet Reservation connecting US-2 at East Glacier Park north to US-89 near Kiowa, skirting the southeastern corner of Glacier National Park. Named after the Nez Perce leader, MT-49 is twisty and narrow with west-facing views into the Two Medicine area of Glacier and strong grizzly bear, moose, and wolf sighting potential. A spur road branches into Two Medicine itself. Note: the northerly 8 miles over Looking Glass Hill are steep and prone to landslides; avoid after heavy rain or in early spring.
