upper geyser basin

在老忠实喷泉的后方连起来几十个池子，trail是修好的木头步道，走一边要1-2小时，可以走到morning glory 不过考虑到停车要原路返回的说，这一片比较壮观，有蓝色的彩色的大小池子，没有池子的地方就是枯木和白泥的末日感

看热泉间歇泉是到黄石的重要一环，看过各种泉之后竟发现还是有区别的。黄石可谓地热博物馆，难怪有如电影2012中的火山狂热者终其一生在诺大的黄石公园中游荡。看到这些泉们，我除了敬畏还是敬畏，对大自然。

这一片热泉，色彩不算突出，水量也不算大，但胜在比较密集。走在栈道上，到处都是冒烟的口，到处都是热水潭，再加上我是在日落时间参观，借着夕阳的色调，有点末日的感觉。总体来说还是很不错的。

Beautiful but again very hot if visiting late summer and mid day, go and see this amazing geographical wonder early morning or later in evening.

In the summer, the crowds make this seem like Disneyworld not one of the most unique geologic areas and ecologies in the world. In the winter, you can't just drive here so it limits the crowds a lot. The Xanterra snow coach drivers and park staff do a great job in the winter of casually educating visitors.

We walked around the upper geyser basin as part of our Tauck winter wonderland tour. Amazing scenery with all the thermal activity. Old Faithful is the crown jewel, but there are many other sights to see. So picturesque.

It is a very unique experience to see this basin area, the color's were like an artist's palette. I greatly enjoyed most of the stops along the loop road.

This is my favorite place to visit in Yellowstone. You can see a lot of things from the road, which means they are crowded. Go on some of the hikes and suddenly the crowds disappear.

Skip Old Faithful, a mile or so up the road is the Grand Prismatic. It will haunt your dreams with its boiling pots of intense color. Close up or hike above and look down - spectacular.

The Upper Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone is a magical place if you can catch it just right. A blanket of snow on the ground and cold Winter air mixed with steam from the geysers on a sunny day cannot be matched. Magical.

There is nothing not to like about anything at Yellowstone National Park. The views all around the park of all the sulpher geysers are really neat.

Walking and driving through Yellowstone you feel like you are in another world because the Geyser's and water pools are like something you never thought you would see in person.

I really liked the ability to walk on the boardwalks along the upper geyser basin. The scenery here is quite lovely and you can see many geysers and hot springs.

Everything is here; large geysers seen from afar, small geysers right next to the boardwalk, hot springs, everything. Start with the crowd at Old Faithful, which everyone who visits should see at least once. Cross the Firehole River to Geyser hill for a short loop where the crowd spreads out. Beyond that the crowd really thins out as you head towards Morning Glory Pool and Biscuit or Black Sand Basin. If you are up for a little climbing the trail to Observation Point and Solitary Geyser is well worth it. Try to catch Riverside Geyser erupting too; it is very predictable and is among the most scenic in the parkThis area can be overcrowded with visitors but there is room to spread out and is still well worth it. Watch out for bison too.

Many visitors watch Old Faithful erupt, then they get back in their cars and drive away. That would be a big mistake, as there are all sorts of picturesque hot springs and geysers along the Upper Geyser Basin boardwalks. Take the time to stroll at least some of these paths, and go to the Visitors Center to check out when other geysers are scheduled to erupt. None of them are as dependable as Old Faithful, but some of them can be more spectacular. In particular, Grand and Castle Geysers are worth the wait.
