Avalanche Peak GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Follow a beautiful forest trail with bright grasses and wildflowers fairly steeply and with few switchbacks to the summit of Avalanche Peak, a gem in Yellowstone National Park. At the timberline, the forest turns into meadow and opens up into views of the surrounding mountains, as well as Yellowstone Lake below. The last bit of the hike includes an ascent up some scree, but it’s nothing too crazy. Really quite a bit of payoff for a fairly easy ascent.
