Bunsen Peak - Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA)
2018-10-16. I wanted to hike up Washburn Peak (3122m, 10,243') but was disappointed to find out that the trail had been closed even though the road and area were still relatively snow-free. So I had to settle for Bunsen Peak. I'm glad I did as this peak is a great excursion and a good goal for early spring or fall and I would imagine that in the summer that the trail gets very busy.
The extension to Osprey Falls is well worth it and would definitely have fewer hikers along the way if solitude is your thing (like it is mine!). Bunsen is only one of the many amazing peaks in this beautiful national park but it is one of the easiest to access and the summit views make it a must-do adventure.

Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. Approximately 96 percent of the land area of Yellowstone National Park is located within the state of Wyoming. Another three percent is within Montana, with the remaining one percent in Idaho. The park is (63 mi; 101 km) north to south, and (54 mi; 87 km) west to east by air. Yellowstone is 2,219,789 acres (898,317 ha; 3,468 sq mi; 8,983 km²), comprising canyons, lakes, rivers and mountain ranges. Forests comprise 80 percent of the land area of the park; most of the rest is grassland. Lakes rivers cover five percent of the land area, with the largest water body being Yellowstone Lake at 87,040 acres (35,224 ha; 136 sq mi; 352 km²). Yellowstone Lake is up to (400 ft; 120 m) deep and has (110 mi; 180 km) of shoreline. At an elevation of (7,733 ft; 2,357 m) above sea level, Yellowstone Lake is the largest high elevation lake in North America.
The park sits on the Yellowstone Plateau, at an average elevation of (8,000 ft; 2,400 m) above sea level. The plateau is bounded on nearly all sides by mountain ranges of the Middle Rocky Mountains, which range from (9,000 to 11,000 ft; 2,700 to 3,400 m) in elevation. The highest point in the park is atop Eagle Peak (11,358 ft; 3,462 m) and the lowest is along Reese Creek (5,282 ft; 1,610 m). The most prominent summit on the Yellowstone Plateau is Mount Washburn at (10,243 ft; 3,122 m). The park contains 290 waterfalls of at least (15 ft; 4.6 m), the highest being the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River at (308 ft; 94 m).
Yellowstone National Park is the centerpiece of the 20 million acres (8,093,712 ha; 31,250 sq mi; 80,937 km²) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a region that includes Grand Teton National Park, adjacent National Forests and expansive wilderness areas in those forests. The ecosystem is the largest remaining continuous stretch of mostly undeveloped pristine land in the contiguous United States, considered the world's largest intact ecosystem in the northern temperate zone.
Over 1,700 species of trees and other vascular plants are native to the park. Another 170 species are considered to be exotic species and are non-native. Of the eight conifer tree species documented, Lodgepole Pine forests cover 80 percent of the total forested areas. Other conifers, such as Subalpine Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir and Whitebark Pine, are found in scattered groves throughout the park.
Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles have been documented. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most finest megafauna wildlife habitat. There are almost 60 species of mammals in the park, including the timber wolf, coyote, lynx, and grizzly bears. Other large mammals include the bison, black bear, elk, moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain goat, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and cougar live in this park.
Hundreds of species of birds have been reported, almost half of which nest in Yellowstone. In 1999, twenty-six pairs of nesting bald eagle were documented. Extremely rare sightings of whooping cranes have been recorded, however only three examples of this species are known to live in the Rocky Mountains, out of 385 known worldwide. Other birds, considered to be species of special concern because of their rarity in Yellowstone, include the common loon, harlequin duck, osprey, peregrine falcon and the trumpeter swan.
Yellowstone ranks among the most popular national parks in the United States. The National Park Service maintains 9 visitor centers and museums and is responsible for maintenance of historical structures and many of the other 2,000 buildings. An historical and educational tour is available at Fort Yellowstone which details the history of the National Park Service and the development of the park. Campfire programs, guided walks and other interpretive presentations are available at numerous locations. The park has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. Camping is available at a dozen campgrounds with more than 2,000 campsites. Camping is also available in surrounding National Forests, as well as in Grand Teton National Park to the south. Backcountry campsites are accessible only by foot or by horseback and require a permit. There are (1,100 mi; 1,800 km) of hiking trails available.

Union Falls Yellowstone National Park
16 mile day hike to Union Falls from the Grassy Lake Road - Cascade Creek Trail.
Union Falls ht. 250 feet (76 m) is a waterfall on Mountain Ash Creek, a tributary of the Fall River in the Cascade Corner (southwest) of Yellowstone National Park. It is the second highest waterfall in Yellowstone exceeded in height only by the lower Yellowstone Falls.
Hiking in Yellowstone - North Rim
Hiking at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone NP: the North Canyon Rim. In 2018, it is the only area of the Grand Canyon that is open to the public…with the exception of the Brink of the Upper Falls trail. Starting at Lookout Point the hike travels the North Rim trail to Inspiration Point with overviews of the canyon walls and Yellowstone River. Returning to Lookout Point the hike then takes two descents; the first to Red Rock trail and the second to Brink of the Lower Falls, with great close-up views of the falls from the top…and great views of the river and canyon looking back toward Inspiration Point.
Terraced Falls
Full Blog with Photos:
Terraced Falls in Yellowstone National Park is one of the many waterfalls found in the southwest corner of the park known as the Bechler area. The hike to this aptly named waterfall is short, fairly level, and a delight as you follow Cascade Creek, then the Falls River to a wonderful perch overlooking Terraced Falls.
