<p>Passing through the Lewis and Clark National Forest and Little
Belt Mountains, the Kings Hill Scenic Byway allows travelers to
leisurely savor the rugged beauty and invigorating fresh air that
are part of the Montana experience. Stretching 71 miles along
Highway 89, the Byway winds its way through pristine mountain lakes
and streams and is home to an abundant variety of wildlife. The
gravel roads criss-crossing the main highway lead to 450 miles of
spectacular mountain scenery, high country lakes, trailheads,
campgrounds, and old mines. Located just south of Kings Hill Pass,
Showdown Ski Area offers 1,400 feet of vertical drop and 34 runs.
Fishing, floating, mountain biking, horseback riding, and
snowmobiling are just a few of the many activities available in
this rugged country that stands waiting to be explored.</p>
