Review:
With a summit of 12,244 feet, Trout Peak is the highest mountain in the Absaroka Range. Most people take 2 days to summit Trout Peak, as the shortest route to the top is 12 miles one way, though it can technically be done in one very long day of hiking. From the top, views in all directions are stunning, and summiters can see a number of other peaks, including Rattlesnake Mountain, Pat O’Hara Mountain, and Robber’s Roost as well as the Buffalo Bill Reservoir in the distance. Hikers should be aware that Trout Peak, although beautiful and secluded, is home to many grizzly bears, and caution should be taken before attempting this peak.
