Catch 360 degree views of Yellowstone National Park on top of this beautifully perched peak. After a few days of hiking and driving all around Yellowstone, this scenic hike provided an excellent birds eye view of the Park and gave a great new perspective.
From Mammoth Hot Springs drive south of US-89 approximately 4.8 miles towards Norris Junction. The trailhead is on the left as you exit Golden Gate Canyon. After about 100 yards on the trail, take the left fork and from there on the trail is well marked out to the top. Sunset and Sunrise are great times to climb this peak and you should give yourself 40-60 minutes to reach the top.

Accessible and great views!
A quicker 4 mile hike. You can easily do it for a great sunset view. Have some layers as it can get windy on the top.
