Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is located in the scenic and isolated Centennial Valley of southwestern Montana, approximately 50 miles west of Yellowstone National Park, near Dillon. The refuge has a vast array of habitat, ranging from high elevation prairie at 6,600 feet, to the harsh alpine habitat of the Centennial Mountains at 10,000 feet above sea level. It is this diverse, marsh-prairie-montane environment that gives Red Rock Lakes its unique character.
