  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.

An intersection with Division Street follows, and the highway continues east. After intersecting several local roads, Montana Highway 44 intersects with former U.S. Route 91 and terminates at Interstate 15.
