What To Expect

Bunsen Peak

The hike up Bunsen Peak is an unforgettable one! From the open flats of the trailhead, we will start up through intermittent forest and meadow, with excellent opportunity to view wildlife, birds, and seasonal wildflowers. As we continue to grind uphill, the views of the Gallatin Range and the surrounding valleys grow more and more spectacular. The final section of the 1,300ft vertical gain brings us through scree and talus slopes, reminding us of Bunsen's origin as a volcanic remnant. As we reach the summit, we will come upon an old fire lookout, which provides an excellent porch for lunch. After taking in the panoramic views and re-energizing, we have the option of coming back down the same trail we came up, making for a 4 mile day, or adding another 3 miles by going down the backside of the mountain. The longer option is much less trafficked and switchbacks down the east side, around the foothills of the peak, and back to the trailhead.

We had a wonderful hiking day at Bunsen Peak with our guide Noah. He is a great guide, helpful, and knowledgeable. My husband and I have hiked in the mountains before, yet never with a guide. This was our first time using Wildland Trekking and we were very pleased. Noah exceeded our expectations and we had so much fun. We will use Wildland Trekking Company again.
