A stark demonstration of nature's power and beauty, the area can be explored on decked trails meandering between active spots.

Easy access with large boardwalks and restroom facilities. The hike is easy and non strenuous. The hot spots and springs are varied and colorful. They will not disappoint. Please keep hold of your hats, candy wrappers and other little bits. Once they fall off the boardwalk, you can not go get them. They are extremely difficult to clean up by the park staff. Keep your bits in the vehicle, take your camera, let's help keep these areas pristine and beautiful..

We entered from the west gate in June, from north to south, from the Lower Geyser Basin to the Old Faithful Spring. We needed to queue up at least 15 minutes at each parking point. There was no signal in the park,recommended to download the app of Yellowstone Park and the offline map, you’ll not lose the guide.

Nothing to complain. This place is just amazing. You can see huge smoke coming out of geyser far away. Most geysers are close to each other so you don't need to walk far to see all of them. It also has several hot spring pools. The constant erupting geyser here makes your life easy to take videos

We were so much happy and excited to see a lot of geysers and hot springs. Wonderful place to visit.

Great place to visit. An easy walk with views that you’ll find no where else. The geysers have beautiful colors and the reactions are always fun to see. Strong smell of sulfur makes the experience that much more intense and unique. Hope you enjoy! Here are some pictures I took there.
