Description

This short connector trail closely follows the highway along sections of power line right-of-way, hence the name. It is primarily used by snowshoers and cross-country skiers in the winter to reach Fountain Flats Drive and the Fairy Falls Trail.

Thanks to guidebook author, Tom Carter, for sharing this trail description. To learn more about visiting Yellowstone, check out his book, Day Hiking Yellowstone.
