The main landmark of Yellowstone's
Tower
and
Roosevelt
areas, east of Mammoth Hot Springs, is
Mount Washburn
, one of the park's highest peaks, whose lookout tower can be reached by an enjoyable all-day hike or a grueling cycle ride. A more manageable trail leads down to the spray-drenched base of
Tower Fall
. From Tower Junction, US-212 wanders away east through the meadows of serene
Lamar Valley
, where moose and buffalo graze, toward the ice-packed peaks of the
Beartooth Mountains
.
