6-22. Storm Point
Figure 6-22.1: Storm Point的步道口。
Figure 6-22.2: 太陽在雲間穿梭，地上時亮時暗。
Figure 6-22.3: 到達Storm Point前得穿過一片樹林。
Figure 6-22.4: 穿過樹林後會看到Yellowstone Lake，往前走不久就是Storm Point。
Figure 6-22.5: Yellowstone Lake很大，看起來像是遠方有山的海。
Figure 6-22.6: 離開Storm Point沿著湖邊走一小段路後看到的景色，背景的山是Absaroka Range。
Storm Point是Yellowstone Lake湖邊的一個眺望點，可以靠一個來回約2 miles的步道到達，步道口在往East Entrance的路上，大概在離Fishing Bridge約五分鐘車程的地方，就在Pelican Creek Nature Trail步道口的下一個路邊停車。
這步道可以視為是Pelican Creek Nature Trail的加長版，調調也很像，沒甚麼坡度且不少路段都有lodgepole pine的樹林遮陽，所以算是個很適合親子同遊的步道。在走了一段視野開闊的路後會進入樹林，之後會走一個loop到Storm Point欣賞Lake Yellowstone的湖光山色，然後沿著湖岸走一段路後回到樹林完成這個loop，再走原路回到步道口。
能看到Yellowstone Lake的地方不少，我不覺得Storm Point這地方有任何特別之處，踏青的成分大於欣賞美景，屬於舒服好走的步道。話雖如此，當時走在樹林時被蚊子騷擾，即使當時已經是八月且是下午較熱的時間；回程時更嚴重，只能快步走動趕快逃離樹林。
Figure 6-22.7: 回程得重新走進樹林。
Figure 6-22.8: 樹林裡的樹大都是lodgepole pine。
Figure 6-22.9: 樹林旁的Yellowstone Lake。
Figure 6-22.10: 這地方正要完全走出樹林，這時太陽已從雲間穿出。
Figure 6-22.11: Indian Pond上的倒影。
Figure 6-22.12: Indian Pond就在步道口，剛開始走的時候沒有陽光，回程時太陽出來比較好看。
即使這步道不長，一個人走還是有遇到grizzly bear的顧忌，步道上能夠遇到多一點人還是比較保險，即使隨身有攜帶bear spray。開始走的時間大概是五點，步道上還剩幾輛車子，想說應該還可以而決定走這一趟。結果在loop開始前的樹林裡遇到一組人後就都沒遇到人，早個十分鐘出發應該會好很多，不至於成為步道上最後一個人。
公園在這步道有舉辦ranger-led hike，今年因為疫情當然取消了這類的群聚活動。雖然這並不是個非走不可的步道，但可以當作是個備案，陰錯陽差下也許會派上用場。
