The trailhead is located 28.8 miles (46.3 km) north of West Yellowstone along US Highway 191. The trail rises through meadows for 2 miles (3.2 km) to the Black Butte / Daly Creek Cutoff Trail 2 miles (3.2 km) east to the Black Butte Trail. The trail continues about 4 miles (6.4 km) to the Sky Rim Trail and park boundary. The Daly Creek drainage lies in a snow shadow, resulting in minimal snow cover.
