Description
The first 4-5 miles of the hike are relatively flat, with few switchbacks. Mostly hiking through burned forest, but with beatiful views once you reach mile 6 or so. There are geysers along the way to view from afar, and a few waterfalls as well as the spectacular view of Heart Lake. Once you reach the lakeshore, there are 5-6 campsites all around the edge of Heart Lake. One of the sites rests at the base of MT. Sheridan, one of the higher mountains of Yellowstone! Good 2-day hike!

Directions to Hike
In the south-east area of Yellowstone National Park
