GALLATIN CREST TRAVERSE

"Chris and I thank you for a great experience in Yellowstone. The beauty was more than we imagined and we know cannot be captured on film. It is an experience we will never forget. We also want to thank Becky, she is an excellent guide. She made the trip really enjoyable. Thanks again for a wonderful time!"

Tour Description

We were excited when we added it, and we can't help but stay excited about our Gallatin Crest Traverse! Phenomenal views, diverse wildlife, high mountain lakes, and classic meadows are the signature attractions of this high country adventure. In far Northwestern Yellowstone a little known route straddles the crest of the picturesque Gallatin Mountains. This route features the best views in Yellowstone, crystalline lakes, lush meadows, beautiful valleys and abundant wildlife. Shelf Lake, your backdrop for two nights, is the park’s highest lake at 9,200 feet. A layover day high on the crest caps this one off and allows for an exciting one day climb to the top of Bighorn Peak.

If you're interested in getting up in the mountains and experiencing more of Yellowstone than what you can see from the roads, this "top of the world" hike is for you. Call us at 1-800-715-HIKE to reserve your spot today!
