19 fantastic Montana miles: National Bison Range prepares to open Red Sleep Drive

The national wildlife refuge is open year-round, but the mostly one-way drive that winds more than 2,000 feet above its start and end delivers the Bison Range in all its glory.

If all you want from a visit is to see bison, you won’t have to drive 19 miles to do it. On a pre-opening-day tour with Bison Range volunteer Dave Fitzpatrick earlier this week, we barely had our seatbelts buckled before we were eyeballing several, some less than 10 feet from our vehicle.

The rugged animals are also ragged ones this time of year. They’re in the process of shedding their winter coats.
