context_page_description: Eagle Peak is a mountain in the Absaroka Range in the U.S. state of Wyoming and at 11,372 feet is the highest point in Yellowstone National Park. It is located about 6 miles east of the southeast arm of Yellowstone Lake.
context_section_description: Eagle Peak wildlife are in the alpine tundra zone and may be threatened by global climate change—the gradual shift of montane fauna and flora upwards could lead to the permanent loss of some species from the park.  To the south, on the boundary of the park is Eagle Pass and the Thorofare Plateau, which has a population of elk, moose, deer, bear, bighorn sheep and others and lies along an important north-south migration route for the elk. Flora includes sedges and rushes, and tufted hairgrass in alpine meadows.
