The Silver Run Plateau is a wide open expanse at over 1 0,000 feet in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Atop the massive plateau are dwarfed, windswept trees and grassy alpine meadows. The amazing panoramic vistas include the West Fork drainage down to Red Lodge, the eastern plains, the Lake Fork drainage to the Hellroaring Plateau, and Black Pyramid Mountain.
Three trails access the Silver Run Plateau. This hike begins by Silver Run Creek on the north flank of Wapiti Mountain and climbs through a dense conifer forest to the east edge of the plateau. Bring warm clothing and be prepared for changes in weather. (Hikes 22 and 28 offer two other routes up to the Silver Run Plateau.)
