    Molten granite formed the Pioneer Mountain Range in southwest Montana about 72-million years ago. As the granite cooled, water carried quartz and other minerals through the rocks and deposited them in veins. With time, the minerals were exposed to air and ground water, leaving a repository of gems. Few places in the country showcase that more than Crystal Park. You will find Crystal Park off the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway between Wise River and Polaris. To the east, the Pioneer Mountains climb as high as 10,000 feet. To the west lies Crystal Park.
