#BasinCreek (previous post) was our least-favorite of the three campsites on this #backpacking itinerary in #Yellowstone -though it had its charms.
Our first night at #SnakeRiver was glorious, though. (Our tent is in the trees at center right.)

We approached #HeartLake from the south, spending a night here at #BasinCreek. By #Yellowstone standards, it's meh.
It was brand-new that year, with the tent pad next to the fire ring, underneath the bear pole - violating several #nationalpark regs.

Basin Creek Sunrise
This campsite is on the trail from the Snake River trail network to the Heart Lake trail network. The peak in the background is Overlook Mountain.

#BasinCreek Cutoff #Trail has some scenery but it's mostly nondescript. This was the best view of the creek, for example.
When the trail reaches open meadows, the views improve.

From #BasinCreek, the #HeartLake Trail goes gently uphill through woods with only occasional views of #SheridanLake or #RedMountains. Then you arrive.

I used #BasinCreek #Cutoff to turn around, leaving the #SnakeRiver #Headwaters for Heart Lake Trail. It's mostly a stock trail through the woods, but the #Cutoff goes through some open country, views of #MountSheridan.

I didn't stay here this year, but the #BasinCreek campsite does offer some great views of #OverlookMountain and the highlands around #SnakeRiverHeadwaters.
It's not officially #wilderness, but it feels like it.

Our second morning of our five-day trip. The park had recently moved the Basin Creek site when we were there in 2016, and there was no spur to the camp. One you ascended a small hill to this large mea...
