Sep 30, 2012 — 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.
