Route description

Montana highway 44 begins at U.S. Route 89 about 10 miles (16 km) north of Dupuyer. Known as the Valier Highway, it proceeds due-east before intersecting with Original Road. A quick turn to the south east brings the intersection with Westwind Road. The highway executes another turn to the south before once again moving due-east. Shortly thereafter, an intersection with Dupuyer Cutoff Road occurs, before the highway intersects West Heights Road.[2]
