Bunsen Peak, an extinct volcano, is a modern day reminder of Yellowstone's intense volcanic history. The trail leading up and over this peak is ripe with ecological, geological, and historical significance. The views this trail offers are the icing on top! 360 degree views will captivate everyone who takes this hike!
The hike gains 1300 vertical feet over 2 miles from the trail head to the summit and reaches an altitude of 8564'! There are many beautiful resting points where we will take breaks while your guide provides enriching information about science and history in this area of the park.
At the summit, everyone will have time to stretch, relax and unwind before we head down the other side. At the base of the peak we will stop above the Sheepeater Cliffs and enjoy another dramatic vista. Parties have the option to even hike to Osprey Falls (this adds 3 miles and an 800 vertical foot climb) if everyone is up for the added challenge!
If you are a moderately active person and want to visit one of Yellowstone's beautiful peaks, this hike is for you!
Bunsen Peak Hike Stats:
Education is at the core of Roam Yellowstone Guiding's values.
On every Roam Yellowstone Guiding tour, you have the options to learn basic Backcountry Skills during your hike. This may could mean a day of navigation lessons with map, compass and altimeter, learning basics of bear safety, planning for and monitoring weather, best practices for leaving no trace or just short lessons about each of these throughout the day!
If you simply want to learn about the nature in Yellowstone, we can teach Environmental Education also! Let your Environmental Scientist guide teach you about Ecology, Geology, Biology and more as you connect with nature for the day.
