Definitely hot and definitely smelly but oh so mesmerizing. Geothermal activity in another light in Yellowstone. Definitely so fun.

This is probably the smelliest area of Yellowstone park with a very strong rotten egg sulphuric smell that was almost unbearable in the heat. It was still very interesting to see with good parking...

Shockingly awesome geothermal area. Due to the proximity of Hayden valley (I’m assuming), there were bison there enjoying the warmth. Great pictures. Definitely a must stop.

I try to make it pass this site every time I am in the park. The steam is always different depending on the weather. There has been bison in the area the last 3 times I have been there. They just like the water. Be mindful they do get close to the walkways.
