Scenic lake located near Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park.
Only 11 kilometres round trip, it was a delightful visit from our cabin at the Old Faithful Lodge. I’ve gone up the trail on lunch hour numerous times and always saw tracks but never another hiker or runner. Have seen bears though, too close for photography, please be careful! A 19 km loop includes the Mallard Creek Trail to the Pipeline Trail to the Upper Geyser Basin across from Biscuit Basin. Good stuff.

Scenic lake in Yellowstone that is known for its excellent fishing opportunities.
Heart Lake is about a seven mile hike from the trailhead on the South Entrance Road to the park. I had made plans to spend several nights at a backcountry campsite with friends and we spent three nights here in September, 2020. If you are in decent shape you can make a trip to the lake and back into a decent day hike. The trail starts out thru mostly thru forest recovering from the '88 wildfires. There is minimal elevation change over the first five miles until you reach Paycheck Pass. At the pass a view opens up the the Witch Creek Watershed in the valley below with a view of Factory Hill and Heart Lake itself. The last two and a half miles head downhill and pass several thermal pools before reaching the gravelly shores of Heart Lake. A ranger cabin is near the lake shore but it was unstaffed during my visit. Heart Lake is a great place to sit and have lunch. You can cool your feet in the water before making the hike back out (don't forget about that uphill portion!). If you choose to reserve one of the backcountry campsites you can plan further adventures near the lake including climbing Mount Sheridan and checking out parts of the Heart Lake Geyser Basin.

The Yellowstone River is absolutely breathtaking you have to take time to go to the upper and lower Falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone to see the Yellowstone falls.

Emerald Lake is a 9 mile moderate difficulty hike along the beautiful East Hyalite Creek, featuring green meadows and small waterfalls even in the summer. It rises from 7200 ft at the parking lot to almost 9000 feet at the gorgeous lake. This is the the most remote trailhead on the road, but the Hyalite canyon area is popular so you won't likely be alone.
