Review:
At the northern edge of Yellowstone National Park, right against the border with Montana, two tall peaks dominate the skyline. One of these is Sepulcher Mountain, which draws its name from the tall, eerie rock formations at its summit, which looked to early explorers a lot like sepulchers, or gravestones.
In all directions there is a fantastic view from the summit of Sepulcher Mountain, like Electric Peak to the west all the way to the Tetons down to the south. There are two approaches to the summit of Sepulcher Mountain, and they are both very different. One, from Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone, leads up through forests until it reaches a ridgeline, and the other, which starts from the Fawn Pass Trail, follows a creek through a wooded canyon until it ascends with switchbacks up the side of the mountain.
