2017 Map of Mount Holmes

About this map

Yellowstone National Park preserves this high-altitude landscape of hydrothermal activity and alpine summits. The northern interior of the park is defined by significant elevations, including the peak of Mt Holmes and the nearby Trilobite Point. These features are connected by a network of backcountry routes, most notably the Mount Holmes-Winter Creek Trail and the Grizzly Lake Trail, which facilitate movement through the drainage basins of Indian Cr and Winter Cr. The presence of Riverside Geyser highlights the thermal features typical of this volcanic region, while Grizzly Lake serves as a prominent water body within the drainages of Straight Cr and Obsidian Cr. This survey illustrates the protected wilderness character of the Gallatin Range, showing how the terrain transitions from the high ridges of Antler Peak and Dome Mtn down into the creek valleys that feed the larger river systems of the park.
