3. BUNSEN PEAK
May 29, 2019: BUNSEN PEAK 🚲 👟 + OSPREY FALLS | Yellowstone National Park
Not a lot of places to ride in Yellowstone but we did find one trail where bikes were allowed so we went for it. The trail skirts Bunsen Peak and midway through there is a hiking route down toward Osprey Falls. We hid our bikes off the trail in the woods and hiked the trail to the falls passing groups of schools. That was a bit of a challenge. The waterfall looked amazing and felt great on that hot day. On the ride back to the trailhead, I rounded up some bison like a pro,.. yeehaw!.. until they decided to chase me right back and I nearly laughed so hard I was crying as the humor took over as fear! Perfect weather (unlike the next couple days) for hiking and riding!
climb: 2962 ft | distance: 15 mi (12 mi MTB + 3 mi hike)
