Beaverhead Rock, Historic summit in Twin Bridges, Montana, US.
The granite rock formation rises distinctly from the landscape along Montana Highway 41, shaped naturally to resemble the head of a beaver.
During the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805, Sacagawea identified Beaverhead Rock, confirming her proximity to her Shoshone homeland and leading to crucial horse acquisitions.
The formation holds deep meaning for the Shoshone people, serving as a traditional territorial marker and navigation point through generations of tribal movements.
Visitors can observe the rock formation from a designated parking area with interpretive exhibits, located 14 miles south of Twin Bridges.
The natural formation guided both Native American tribes and early American explorers, functioning as a critical navigation point in the northern Rocky Mountains.
