Best point to have a look of the Midway Basin!!!

The view of Bidway Basin from this vantage point is stunning. There's a short, easy trail from the parking lot here, where you might even spot bison near a hot, smoking spring. Be aware, though, that this is definitely not a hidden gem, and it gets very crowded during the day. You'll often find yourself waiting for a spot to take photos during peak season, and when it's your turn, other people are already impatiently waiting behind you.
