"May 28, 2023. Solid boot pack on the snow. Used microspikes, gaiters, and one pole. Only post holed a couple of times. Near the summit it is a little tricky to get down from the snow bank. I kicked in steps and slid the rest of the way down and kicked in steps on the way back up." — runningvegan • May 28, 2023
"Fair amount of snow still left to hike through. Hit by a fast moving storm with lightning and hail. Had to hunker down off the side of a ridge for about 25 minutes before hitting the summit." — KevinAB • Jun 22, 2014

"Great weather, and beautiful scenery, perfect but dangerous motorcycling roads. Dangerous because of sightseeing and animals, I almost hit a full grown female moose. I can't wait to go back to Yellowstone." — valkyreel • Sep 30, 2010
