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...

Yellowstone Lake Butte Sunset Tour

Enjoy the scenic shores of Yellowstone Lake

and breathtaking views from the Lake Butte

Overlook. It’s a ride through history and nature,

as tales from the past are interwoven with sights

of the present.
