Echo Peak

Echo Peak is a mountain summit in the Gallatin Range within Yellowstone National Park. The peak rises to about 2,917 meters and offers views across the surrounding Rocky Mountain landscape.

The peak received its name during early Yellowstone explorations in the 1800s when surveyors were mapping the region. The name reflects both the historical exploration and the natural features that early visitors observed.

The mountain serves as a reference point for naturalists and researchers studying the diverse ecosystems of the Greater Yellowstone region.

Hikers should bring sturdy footwear, water, and a map, as the terrain can be steep and exposed. Summer offers the best conditions, while winter and shoulder seasons become challenging and potentially dangerous.

The mountain produces a natural acoustic effect where sounds echo clearly between the surrounding rocks, giving the name its full meaning. This acoustic quality often surprises hikers and adds a memorable dimension to the experience.
