  • 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.
