The Beaten Path is one of the most popular trails in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. But since a key bridge was lost in the floods of 2022, it’s also currently not safe to attempt.

On Valentine’s Day, 2025, a majority of the Wilderness stewardship staff on the Custer Gallatin National Forest were terminated without notice or cause.
