This morning, hike the beautiful Mount Washburn trail to its summit at 10,223 feet, with breathtaking 360-degree views of Yellowstone spread out at your feet. The wide trail\'s gradual ascent to the fire lookout atop the mountain makes it a great hike to top off your week. You may even glimpse some four-legged friends along the way; bighorn sheep are known to frequent the area and graze nearby. Return to your waiting vehicle and start your journey back home, arriving in Bozeman by approximately 7:00 pm. Say so long to new friends and reflect on your adventures in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

Accommodations

---

A comfortable campground ideally located near both national parks. A camp host will help set up and break down camp and help prepare meals.

Madison Campground – Yellowstone

Adventure Camping

Madison Campground, located at an elevation of 6,800 feet, is situated approximately 14 miles east of West Yellowstone and 16 miles north of Old Faithful. Nearby, the Gibbon and Firehole Rivers merge to create the Madison River. In early summer, the surrounding meadows burst into color with wildflowers and are frequented by bison. During September and October, the area resonates with the calls of bugling elk. There will be an additional guide who will be the camp host for the duration of the trip. The camp host will help our guide team set up and breakdown camp along with helping in preparing meals.

Bridge Bay Campground – Yellowstone

Adventure Camping

Located within sight of the western shoreline of Yellowstone Lake and at 7,800 feet in elevation, Bridge Bay Campground was named for its proximity to the marina on Yellowstone Lake. The area is quite scenic, with wooded areas, open meadows and some limited views of the lake. The campground offers open sites with few trees or shadier options in the wooded upper loops of the campground.
