Avalanche Peak Trail

Avalanche Peak is worth the effort.

What’s the hike? Avalanche Peak Trail

Where is it? Yellowstone National Park

How long? 4.5 miles ( 7.2 km) Out & Back

How long really? It’s an uphill battle

How was it? A secluded hike featuring beautiful forests, a peaceful creek and summer snow melts. As the trail got steeper, it became rocky and slippery. Powerful wind gusts caused us to nearly lose our balance multiple times, but the views from the peak made it worth the effort.

Was it eazy? It’s uphill the entire time, and the last half mile was tough

What should I take? A windbreaker and hiking poles
