If you're going to tour the Beartooth Highway, you might as well do it in style.

Much coolers temps around SW Montana on Monday are prompting Winter Weather Advisories for high elevations. Good news for areas prone to fires, bad news for those of us who aren't ready for Summer to end.

The Beartooth Highway runs from Red Lodge to the Wyoming state line. You go over Beartooth Pass, which is 10,947 feet above sea level.

While the Lolo Creek Complex fire has garnered the most attention over the past week, the Rock Creek fire near Red Lodge is Montana's second highest priority.
