Mountain in Wyoming, United States
Sepulcher Mountain, elevation 9,642 feet (2,939 m), is a moderate mountain peak in northwest Yellowstone National Park halfway between the summit of Electric Peak and Mammoth Hot Springs. The peak was named Sepulcher by U.S. Army Captain John W. Barlow in 1871 because of its resemblance to a crypt when viewed from Gardiner, Montana.[2]
The summit of Sepulcher Mountain can be reached by a 7.2-mile (11.6 km) trail from the mouth of Clematis Creek at Mammoth Hot Springs.[3]
