About the Pintler Scenic Highway
The Pintler Scenic Highway is named after Charles E. Pintler, who settled in the Big
Hole Valley in the 1800s and explored much of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness.
Also known as Montana Hwy 1, the first road in Montana to be paved begins at Exit
153 on Interstate 90 in Montana's Granite County. The highway is roughly 47 miles
east of Missoula and 20 miles west of Butte. At the northernmost point lies the town
of Drummond, MT. The highway winds its way south for approximately 63 miles
where it reconnects with Interstate 90 just south of Anaconda, MT.
