One of best views of Yellowstone! Large horned sheep meander at the top with no concern for the two legged invaders. Interesting lookout tower to warm up in, get some great shots of Yellowstone Lake.

We stayed in a Lake Yellowstone cottage and the front desk recommended this trail. It was beautiful and diverse in its views and had many switchbacks and a climb to the very top that was well worth it! The view of Yellowstone Lake was breath-taking. We did not encounter many people on this trail and we hiked mid-morning in August.

One of the many stops on the loop road. When we arrived I took some pictures but there was no activity at that time. After reading about the Roaring Mountains I just happened to look and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw steam coming out of the mountain. Awesome sight.
