Mount Holmes, Mountain summit in Yellowstone National Park, United States
Mount Holmes rises to an elevation of 10,336 feet as the tallest peak in the Wyoming section of the Gallatin Range within Yellowstone National Park.
The peak received its current name in 1878 from the Hayden Survey team, replacing its previous designations of Mount Gallatin and Mount Madison.
The mountain serves as the foundation for one of three primary fire lookout points in Yellowstone National Park, featuring a stone and wood shelter.
Reaching the summit requires a 19-mile round trip hike with 3,000 feet elevation gain, starting from the Norris-Mammoth Hot Springs road section.
The summit provides views extending to Hebgen Lake, Electric Peak, the Absaroka Range, and the Teton Range on clear weather days.
