In Yellowstone National Park lies the Midway Geyser Basin Trail in Wyoming. It is an accessible walking trail that results in some of the most spectacular views in the state.

The 0.8-mile loop trail is walkable for all levels and primarily utilizes a wooden boardwalk to navigate visitors around the hot springs and geysers it features.
