| Hike Summary: | This hike in the north central part of Yellowstone National Park can be done as either an out and back trip, or a multi-day loop hike that combines the Hellroaring and Coyote Creek trails and briefly dips into the Gallatin National Forest before returning to Yellowstone. Along the way, you’ll have spectacular views from the suspension bridge that overlooks the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone River and from the ridge along the Coyote Creek trail. Fishing is also reported to be decent in Hellroaring Creek if that’s of interest. |
