The area of Yellowstone known as Indian Pond / Storm Point may not be a top spot for wildlife nor the most scenic corner of the park yet it is a great place for greenhorn hikers to venture beyond the boardwalk. Indian Pond, a deep blue pool, erupted into existence thousands of years ago. The lush meadows, once a favorite Native American camp site, are today a bison feeding place. Storm Point Trail (2.3 miles roundtrip) is an easy ramble. Wind-swept Storm Point, a rocky outcrop midway, affords great views of Yellowstone Lake and is home to a large colony of yellow-bellied marmots.
