Review:
Hoyt Peak, located inside Yellowstone National Park, is a Class 2 or Class 3 peak that takes about half a day to summit. From the Avalanche Peak Trailhead, the journey to the top of Hoyt Peak winds through woods, a bowl-like basin, and along a ridge. Near the summit, there is a large rock formation that can either be climbed or hiked around. From the summit, hikers can head back down the way they came or continue along the saddle to bag a second mountain, Avalanche Peak, which is just a few miles away. The trail for both peaks is about 6½ miles long.
