Can you call this a hidden gem in Montana?  It seems like there are so many that the whole state should be a hidden gem of the US. This "little" gem is tucked away in the south eastern corner of the state, just above Yellowstone Park. To access this beautiful area, you must want to go there specifically because the road ends at East Rosebud Lake. The closest town is Roscoe, Montana and you must search that out as well.  The drive to lake is just as beautiful as the lake itself.  Rolling pasture lands, small creeks, campgrounds, looming mountains, lush evergreen forests, and wild grass hills are just a few of the sites to see on the way to the lake.  We started off in a little town called Bear Creek just over the hill from Red Lodge which is an iconic rustic Montana town at the base of the Beartooth Mountains. It is a destination spot for winter skiers and summer vacationers. We would through the beautiful country side exploring campgrounds and potential fly fishing holes until we arrived at the lake and the East Rosebud trail head. This is only accessible during the warm months.  For as soon as the snow falls in autumn the road is no longer maintained and isn't opened until the snow melts in the late spring. It was a perfect Saturday afternoon drive on a warm autumn day.
