The Highland Mountains, highest point Table Mountain, el. 10223feet,[1] are a small mountain range southwest of Whitehall, Montana in Silver Bow and Madison County, Montana.
The Continental Divide winds through the range. A 21,000-acre roadless area encompasses the core of the range, which includes Red Mountain, also over 10,000'.[2] Nutritious alpine forage in the Highlands gives area bighorn sheep the fastest horn growth of any herd in Montana.[2] The green-tinted waters of Emerald Lake provide a nice contrast to the red rock of Red Mountain.[2] A smaller roadless area of about 10,000 acres in the Basin Creek drainage protects Butte's municipal watershed.[2] Lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir are common tree species.[2]
