Heart River, Mountain brook in Yellowstone National Park, United States.
Heart River is a mountain brook in Yellowstone National Park that originates from the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains near Yellowstone Lake. The water flows south through a narrow valley before eventually joining the Snake River.
The brook follows a course that formed during the geological shaping of the Rocky Mountains after Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872. Its route was shaped by the complex tectonic processes that created the park's landscape today.
The Heart River and its surrounding area serve as research locations for geological studies and environmental monitoring within the national park system.
You can see the brook from several marked observation points connected by designated hiking trails. Most of these viewing areas are easily accessible from the park's main road system.
The water cuts through a narrow gorge before continuing its southern journey to meet the Snake River. This gorge is a distinctive feature that many visitors overlook while focusing on the park's more famous attractions.
