Take a Hike
For the latest information on trail conditions, bear
closure areas, and other important information, we
recommend checking with a National Park Service
Visitor Center before hiking in Yellowstone.
Elephant Back Trail
— Enjoy this hike
through a dense lodgepole pine forest to
a sweeping panoramic view of Yellowstone
Lake and the surrounding area. This
moderately strenuous trail is a 3-mile loop
starting one mile south of the Fishing Bridge
Junction. This is a local favorite!
Storm Point Trail
— This is an easy hike to
scenic, windswept Storm Point. The 3-mile
trail starts at the Indian Pond turnout three
miles east of the Fishing Bridge Visitor
Center and passes through an open meadow,
a forested area, and then takes you along
the lakeshore. Look for the colony of yellow-
bellied marmots that make their home near
the rocky point.
National Park Service Visitor Center
The Fishing Bridge Visitor Center and Museum is
located one mile east of Fishing Bridge Junction
on the East Entrance Road. Built in 1931, it is a
National Historic Landmark and houses historic
bird specimens and other animal mounts.
Ranger-Led Interpretive Walks
Interpretive walks are available throughout
Yellowstone. Refer to the schedule at the
National Park Service Visitor Center or in the
Yellowstone Today
newspaper you received at the
entrance station. You’ll be glad you did!
AT THE END OF THE DAY...
