The place smells. Still fun to see. Very short site seeing trail. We saw a big wolf during the hike also. He was not ob the trail, but one level up on the mountains. Far enough that won't cause harm. He's beautiful!

This is a beautiful, though difficult, hike. The waterfall is worth the trip alone but the pools are basically heaven on earth. The pool is just like the firehole river without the crowds.

I started the trail near the hot springs. It was perfect weather outside. I saw grouse, sandhill cranes, an American coot, lesser scaups, elk, whitetail deer, mule deer, and other animals. I started the trail about 5:30 pm, so there were a lot of animals near the water getting their evening drink. I only saw one couple on the trail (which is unusual because it's a high traffic area). There was a downed tree that diverted a stream into the trail. You have to walk around a small marshy area to get past it. Other than that, the trail was in good condition.

Mammoth Hot Springs Terrace Trails

Mammoth Hot Springs is a grand example of natures hot plumbing systems, the constant creation of travertine (calcium carbonate from acid-dissolved limestone) terraces, which constantly shift with underlying geothermal activity. We took a left at one-way Upper Terrace Drive, stopped at the Overlook and walked along the boardwalks to the Main Terrace sites, the most notable and active was the New Blue Spring, which ran right under the boardwalk. We also went to the other side of the Main Terrace to Canary Spring, where hot water had closed off the boardwalk. We drove the rest of the Upper Terrace Drive, then down the mountain to the Lower Terrace middle parking lot. We walked the boardwalks and saw dried up travertine cliffs of past activity, terraces and caves that looked like staircases and faces and teeth, all sorts of shapes. It is quite interesting how the ground has been raised by the formation of acidic water dissolving and depositing minerals like limestone over thousands of years. After finishing our stroll at Liberty Cap, we stopped at Albright Visitors Center, viewed wildlife exhibits and found the out of service web-cam, inquired about the snow on Beartooth Highway, then since it was late, drove straight toward Gardiner, Montana for the night. Insight into God's geology class definitely worth a stop!

Glacier Trail

Glacier Trail was my first backcountry camping and mountaineering experience. This past August 2012 I traveled with six other students and two instructors from the Central Wyoming College to make a summit attempt on Gannett Peak. We began at the Whisky Mountain Trailhead near Dubois, Wyo. and hiked straight through ending in Pinedale, Wyo.

It was an amazing 11 days in the backcountry. We did successfully reach the summit of Gannett and spent a few days in the cirque. It was a hard push on the way out because we only had permission to camp 10 miles beyond the Cirque. We had to climb Bonney Pass and Knapsack Col before reaching our target campsite. It was a great adventure.

Excellent hike just outside the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park. The trail (a commonly used horseback trail) takes hikers up through a beautiful valley with great views and access to trails that lead into the Yellowstone backcountry. You'll hear all Buffalo Bill when you get there.

Lava Creek Trail to Undine Falls

Finding the trail head was a little tricky. But once I got there, I discovered that there were apparently two trail heads that converge near a suspension bridge.

I began the trail near a small, wobbly suspension bridge over Gardner River. I wasn't bothered by the bridge having crossed other suspension bridges before. From there, I hiked along the river through sage brush to the convergence of Lava Creek and Gardner River, and walked along it through the canyon. Along the trail I saw mule deer, elk, bison, and a bald eagle. I saw old paw prints of black bear and coyote along the trail. There are a lot of basalt and travertine rocks strewn everywhere too. Near the waterfall is a moderately steep walk up to the shelf next to the waterfall.

The waterfall is approximately 100 feet tall in 3 tiers. I could literally walk close to the brink. From that vantage point, I could see the Undine Falls pullout vantage point too.

During warm and hot weather, I recommend head gear since part of the trail is through tall sagebrush, where ticks like to base jump to their victims.
