Divide Ski Trail

NPS / Jacob W. Frank

The Divide Ski Trail is a 2.8 mile (4.5 km) round trip, more difficult, skier-tracked trail. Begin at Spring Creek Trail junction. The trail climbs up to a saddle on the Continental Divide. On a clear day, you may have views of Shoshone Lake and Mt. Sheridan. Return to Old Faithful via the Spring Creek Trail.

Notes: CAUTION: recommended for advanced skiers only due to steep terrain. Bison and elk frequent this trail. Federal regulations require you to stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves, and at least 25 yards (23 m) away from bison and all other wild animals.
