A beautiful trail for hikers of all skill levels
Storm Point Trail的点评
点评：The Storm Point Trail, in the eastern part of Yellowstone National Park, is a popular 2.3 mi/3.7 km loop that is rated “easy” in most hiking guides. My wife and I hiked this trail during the latter part of September 2022.
The trailhead is located at the Indian Pond pullout along the East Entrance Road (US Highway 14), about 3 mi/5 km east of the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center. There is a vault toilet at one end of the small parking lot. The trailhead itself is along a path that originates near the toilet.
NOTE that this trail is in “bear country” and you should take proper precautions. In fact, the trail is occasionally closed in late spring and early summer due to bear activity. It’s a good idea to inquire at the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center about trail closures before hiking. We didn’t see any bears during our hike, but did see bear paw prints and some pretty fresh bear scat along the trail.
The trail has a reputation as an excellent opportunity to observe wildlife, and that was the case for us, as a bison was grazing on the trail just after the trailhead marker. We decided to divert off-trail temporarily to maintain the recommended 25-yard distance from the bison.
At the beginning, the trail crosses a grassy plain alongside Indian Pond and leads through a thin strip of lodgepole pine woodland to a sandy beach at the edge of Yellowstone Lake, where you get your first glimpse of Storm Point. The trail then re-enters the forest, which becomes quite dense, and follows close to the shore south towards the point. The trees fade away near the end, and you head toward the point as the trail becomes sandier and the terrain rises slightly to Storm Point, a rocky headland 30 ft/9 m above the water.
NOTE that (as its name implies) Storm Point itself is quite exposed and often suffers from wet and windy weather. However, we were there on calm, clear day and found it to be an ideal place to relax and take a break.
After leaving the point, the trail continues west, staying close to the water's edge just above the beaches. The trail then turns inland and again runs through pine woodland. The loop is completed by a short section across the tall grass meadow, back to the Indian Pond parking lot.
The trail is well-maintained and relatively flat. I’m in my late 60’s and was able to complete the hike with no problem. Moreover, it has lovely and varied scenery. We highly recommend making a hike along the Storm Point trail part of your visit to Yellowstone National Park.

翻译：位于黄石国家公园东部的风暴点步道是一条 2.3 英里/3.7 公里的热门环路，在大多数远足指南中被评为“轻松”。我和我的妻子在 2022 年 9 月下旬徒步旅行了这条小径。
小道起点位于东入口路（美国 14 号公路）沿线的 Indian Pond 引出处，位于渔桥游客中心以东约 3 英里/5 公里处。小停车场的一端有一个拱形厕所。小道起点本身沿着一条起源于厕所附近的路径。
请注意，这条小径位于“熊国”，您应该采取适当的预防措施。事实上，由于熊的活动，这条小径偶尔会在春末夏初关闭。在徒步旅行之前，最好在钓鱼桥游客中心询问有关小径关闭的信息。我们在徒步旅行期间没有看到任何熊，但确实看到了熊掌印和沿着小径的一些非常新鲜的熊粪便。
这条小径因是观察野生动物的绝佳机会而享有盛誉，对我们来说也是如此，因为一头野牛在小径起点标记后的小径上吃草。我们决定暂时改道，以与野牛保持建议的 25 码距离。
开始时，这条小径穿过印度池塘旁的一片草地平原，穿过一片细长的黑松林地，到达黄石湖边缘的沙滩，在那里您可以第一眼看到暴风角。然后这条小径重新进入变得相当茂密的森林，并沿着靠近海岸的南边走向该点。树木在尽头附近逐渐消失，随着小径变得更加沙质，地形略微上升到 Storm Point，这是一个高出水面 30 英尺/9 米的岩石岬角，您将前往该点。
请注意，（顾名思义）Storm Point 本身非常暴露，经常遭受潮湿多风的天气。然而，我们是在风平浪静、晴朗的一天到达那里，发现它是放松和休息的理想场所。
离开该点后，小径继续向西行驶，靠近海滩上方的水边。然后这条小径转向内陆，再次穿过松树林。环路的最后一段穿过高草草地，回到印度池塘停车场。
这条小径维护良好且相对平坦。我已经 60 多岁了，能够毫无问题地完成徒步旅行。此外，它拥有美丽多样的风景。我们强烈建议您在游览黄石国家公园时沿着 Storm Point 小径远足。
