Bunsen Peak Trail

  • Address: Grand Loop Rd., 1½ mi south of Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, WY | Map It

Fodor's Review:

Past the entrance to Bunsen Peak Road, the moderately difficult trail is a 4-mi, three-hour round-trip that climbs 1,300 feet to Bunsen Peak for a panoramic view of Blacktail Plateau, Swan Lake Flats, the Gallatin Mountains, and the Yellowstone River valley. (Use a topographical map to find these landmarks.)
