Marked trail off the Beartooth Highway to a peak
I'm looking for a marked trail off the Beartooth highway that leads to a peak with a nice overview about the region. I googled for the last couple of hours, but couldn't find a lot of information. Is there such a trail?
The highway winds its way through southwest Montana and northwest Wyoming and leads into Yellowstone National Park at its Northeast Entrance.

There are lots of trails that are accessed from the Beartooth Highway. What you need is a map of the Eastern Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.
I've poked around a few of them. It's lovely country. I especially enjoy all of the fantastic little lakes. Although, the best views of the area do come from the top of the pass, as @James_Jenkins noted.

I've been up on Beartooth a handful of times. I almost always find somewhere new to explore and kill a few hours. Look for pullouts and see if there is any kind of trail head. The lakes and streams up there are beautiful. Bring bear spray, it's grizzly country.

You don't need a trail. At the top of the bear tooth hwy you are above the tree line. You can stop along the hwy and see for miles.
When you get to Top of the World there are some trees, but not far from there you can see forever.
I took this way into the park, the views are extraordinary.
