Wallace Pass is a hard hike in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, part of the Yellowstone Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface out-and-back that climbs from about 6,017 feet to 9,758 feet over roughly 14.4 miles. The route is rated hard, and the one-way gain is 3,851 feet. Horses are allowed on the trail, so it works for riders as well as hikers. The pass sits in designated wilderness, and the surrounding area offers more to explore. Passage Creek is just 0.3 miles away and Passage Falls about 1.3 miles off. Climbers can head to Ladyfingers Buttress and Peanuts Wall, both about 2.4 miles away. For an overnight base, Snowbank Campground is about 4.4 miles from the pass.
