    Great hike with amazing views. It is moderate to strenuous and you need to be prepared with the right hiking boots. Bring water, food, give yourself enough time to enjoy the hike and bring bear...

    Avalance peak is a super awesome, fairly short, but very strenuous hike. I consider myself to be in good shape and got my butt handed to me. It's only about 2 miles one way, but almost straight up...

    Obvious trail, amazing scenery. Last portion is walking up rocks
  • By 林家均（Leo）
    It’s definitely worth to go on the peak. The view is spectacular. Kind of hard ~~ but u will enjoy it.
  • By Robin Shillock
    A steep climb, mostly vertical, occasional switchbacks, more aggressive than some of the trail guides suggest. However, the view during the climb and at the top is stunning!
  • By Bob Alexander
    This is a hike in Yellowstone National Park. It is a 4.5 mile out and back hike with an altitude gain of 2017 feet. While it is a hard hike, the views at the top are spectacular.
  • By Max Goff
    One of the best "quick" hikes in the park. The trail gets you to the top of avalanche peak and there are a few social trails that continue on.
