Yellowstone Bighorn Research Association

Set on the slopes of Mount Maurice above Red Lodge, Montana at 6,800 ft, the YBRA camp is at the base of the Beartooth Mountains where a breathtaking 69 mile stretch of the Beartooth Highway (US Route 212) seasonally connects Red Lodge to Cooke City, Montana and the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park. 

The YBRA is a non-profit organization that serves as a base camp for field course operations for colleges, universities and institutes. The YBRA sponsors professional and community-centered field trips and workshops. Our annual YBRA Open House features leaders in their field who discuss current issues in earth sciences and advances in related industries.
