Beartooth traverse options

For posterity (i.e., so I know where these links are later) here's a couple of routes for traversing the Beartooth range.

The second one is better explored in his book, which has a map.

Probably the best way to combine the best of those is to do "The Beaten Path" as it's called (Cooke City to Rosebud via Fossil Lake and the plateau) but with an off-trail detour to hit up the hanging valleys of Martin Lake and Summit Lake (connected by a saddle traverse.)
