Heart River, Mountain brook in Yellowstone National Park, United States.
Heart River flows for 4.8 miles through Yellowstone National Park, originating from the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains near Yellowstone Lake.
The river system developed its current course following the geological formation of the Rocky Mountains and the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872.
The Heart River and its surrounding area serve as research locations for geological studies and environmental monitoring within the national park system.
Visitors can observe the river's course from several designated observation points along the marked trails that connect to the main park road system.
The river creates a natural corridor through a short gorge before continuing south for approximately four miles to join the Snake River.
