Joe Brown Trailhead
Score3.9Joe Brown Trailhead is the gateway to one of Yellowstone’s most photogenic hiking starts, with easy access to geyser-basin textures and Big Sky scenery. Frame the trail and pullouts against the Absaroka Range for strong foreground–background depth; visit in early morning or late afternoon for softer, warmer light and fewer people. Parking is roadside at the trailhead (arrive early in peak season). No entry fees; Yellowstone access requires an entrance pass depending on route.
