This Trail is very popular with Yellowstone Visitors. It is a must do of the Yellowstone trails. To get to the trail head you must drive one of the must see parts of Yellowstone Dunraven Pass. This trail is not for those that have Vertigo.

This pass opens about mid May but the trail my still be snowed in. Great Vistas popular trail for hikers and birders. Not many get invited in to the Fire lookout.

This trail head is very well marked with its own parking area. When coming from Canyon Junction to Tower junction through Dunraven pass you will find the trail head at the top of Dunraven Pass.

Has own parking, if parking is full park at turn out before the trail head.

Even in the summer pack or wear a jacket, the summit is windy and chilly! I took a less- fit friend hiking here and she did fine with frequent stops.

This is a very simple trail that follows a ranger road all the way to the summit and ranger tower. The views are spectactular and if you go at sunrise or sunset the trail is not overly busy either. A must do if considering getting into more mountain hiking.
