Bunsen
Drizzled on a bit on the way up and down but had a nice window at the summmit. I was hoping Electric would reveal itself with a fresh coat of snow but it decided to stay hidden.
clockwise loop to Bunsen Peak then east down to B. loop road and side trip to Osprey Falls. I'd recommend doing it this way; where the Peak trail branches off the loop road is very indistinct and unmarked.

Mulitple Times
Climbed this peak more times than I can count over the last 30 years. Why not? It's in my back yard. Usually I get paid to climb it. Next time, notice the new log equipment shelter that we replaced the old crappy shack with. Also, was instrumental in removing all the abandoned TV and FM antenna masts and boxes from the mountain a few years back.

I enjoyed hiking to this peak. The summit offers great views down to Mammoth and beyond.

Bunsen Peak
Hiked up Bunsen Peak before going home. This peak and Mount Washburn seem to be the most visited in Yellowstone.

Bun in the SunThis was the second time I've climbed Bunsen with my hubs. We took the scenic route via Osprey Falls and an east side bush whack.

Group of flatlandersTook 12 midwestern kids up this as their first mountain. They were totally stoked.
The local prominence made them feel they'd climbed something bigger.
