The Highland Mountains, highest point Table Mountain, el. {{convert|10223|ft|m}},{{cite book|title=Recreational Map of Western Montana|year=1990|publisher=Western GeoGraphics|location=Canon City, CO|isbn=0-528-92551-2|pages=n/a}} are a small mountain range southwest of Whitehall, Montana in Silver Bow and Madison County, Montana.
The Continental Divide winds through the range. A 21,000-acre roadless area encompasses the core of the range, which includes Red Mountain, also over 10,000'.{{cite book|last=Cunningham|first=Bill|title=Montana Wildlands|year=1990|publisher=American Geographic Publishing|location=Helena, MT|isbn=0-938314-93-9|pages=60}} Nutritious alpine forage in the Highlands gives area bighorn sheep the fastest horn growth of any herd in Montana. The green-tinted waters of Emerald Lake provide a nice contrast to the red rock of Red Mountain. A smaller roadless area of about 10,000 acres in the Basin Creek drainage protects Butte's municipal watershed. Lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir are common tree species.
