"Was driving by on my way through Grand Teton Nat. Park when i saw the sign for the summit. Didn't realize how easy it turned out (paved drive-up). But the views were awesome (what is not in GTNP?). The only USGS survey marker i found was a reference mark though. Note the arrow in the picture. It points to a probably covered over summit marker. I also stopped at the hairpin turn to see the more westerly view." — SteveM_StickMan • Aug 5, 2024
"It had a FireTower lookout on top, so why not? Fortunately, we could hang out inside the lower observation section of the tower building waiting out the rainstorm that blew through. It was over in 20 minutes, then the sun came out again. Score!" — SteveM_StickMan • Aug 4, 2024
"My first day in Yellowstone. After a brief chat at the West entrance and a very brief look at the map, I decided to head toward the geyser area, south on the Loop Rd. After doing the boardwalk walks at Fountain Paint Pots and Prismatic Spring, I arrived at the Old Faithful area. Missed O.F.'s spurt so I walked along the boardwalks past this point (here), then up the trail to Old Faithful Observation Point, including a short whack up to a ledge with a nicer view, then through the woods out to Solitary Geyser, on a fairly remote trail. Nice and quiet! In retrospect, I wish I had taken a closer look at, and visited some of the lesser known pulloffs along the Loop Rd. that are not promoted as much as the main attractions." — SteveM_StickMan • Aug 2, 2024
"This peak was one I was looking forward to for 3 years, so I'm glad I finally climbed it. The trail was basically a long fire road with amazing views down into the valleys. The summit was great, and had amazing views, 2 benchmarks, and a sign. When I went there was only 2 patches of snow left on the north side of the mountain. " — lc444 • Jul 30, 2024
"I just went ot the Artists Paintpots here, used that trail to get to this hill. The hill had nice views over the Artists Paintpots area and the Artists Paintpots were underwhelming because of a drought. Nice area still tho. " — lc444 • Jul 30, 2024
