Livingston Peak

Livingston Peak towers at 9300' to the southeast of Livingston and is kind of like Baldy's sister peak, being similar in size, shape, and terrain. The trail roughly follows Lost Creek through West Baldy Basin and covers 3000' of vertical over just 4 miles. 2000' of that elevation is covered in the last mile so you can expect flat followed by some serious climbing. It can also be accessed from the east via East Baldy Basin but I've not taken this approach and cannot comment on the state of the trail. It's a fun hike that can be done relatively quickly for experienced hikers and probably melts out much earlier than the other peaks of the Absarokas. The views from the top are stellar and give you a feel for the vastness of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.
