Elephant Back Mountain Trail Guide | Yellowstone's Best Lake View

Elephant Back Mountain Trail — the best view of Yellowstone Lake on two feet. ~4 mi round trip (NPS: 3.5) · lollipop loop · ~800 ft gain · moderate · 2–3 hrs 📍 My Strava route:   / strava   📍 NPS trail info: https://www.nps.gov/thingstodo/yell-t... Yellowstone tips: The park is HUGE — give yourself several days. Stay inside the park if you can; the drive in and out is long. Check YellowstoneNationalParkLodges.com — don't be discouraged by "no availability," cancellations open up constantly, especially last minute. Trail status can change daily for bear activity — check the NPS Yellowstone Backcountry Situation Report before you go. ⚠️ Bear country — carry bear spray, make noise, hike in a group, give wildlife space.
