  • Unique Northwestern beauty: Meeting planners looking for an authentic backdrop need not look further after a drive along Beartooth Highway, America’s most scenic highway. Visitors can also get a taste of history at Pompeys Pillar, made famous by Lewis and Clark, or honor the fallen at Little Bighorn Battlefield.
