Select from the options below to learn more about the Luther area...
















Luther is in the mountains northwest of Red Lodge. The town was named for the Luther family; Grace Luther kept the post office in one corner of her husband’s general store. At one time there was also a blacksmith shop, a lumberyard and a saloon. Linley and Luther were sometimes called the “twin cities.” (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)

Luther is near the beautiful Beartooth Mountain Range. Designated a National Scenic Byway, the Beartooth Highway is one of the most beautiful drives in America. Reaching heights of nearly 11,000 feet, this 53.7-mile, three-hour drive offers views of snowcapped peaks, glaciers, alpine lakes and plateaus.

Not far from Luther is Cooney State Park, an irrigation reservoir and a popular recreation area serving south-central Montana offering boating, swimming, camping and fishing. Attractions include good walleye and rainbow trout fishing. Boating opportunities are abundant and 75 camping spots are available on this large 317.6-acre site at 4,307 feet in elevation.

Red Lodge Mountain Ski Area is also near Luther. It is best known for its friendly people and great spring skiing. The mountain receives over 250 inches of snow during the season, yet 5 of every 7 days are sunny. Over 70 trails, for all levels of skiers and 2,400 feet of vertical will keep you busy for days.
