A path in W. Yellowstone

When I am in an environment like this, I truly feel one with the perfection of the Creator, Earth & nature.  Our species is just one spoke in the evolving wheel of creation.

Bison Yellowstone

There's always one in the herd who explores a little closer and is away from the herd.

Knowing about thermal sensitive ground

This is a good sign to read.

Danger, Danger, Will Robinson!

You see these along paths where there are small geyers that are not as noticeable.  Usually, when one sees what looks like a dried sulfur bed, is really a small geyser lurking in that area. Just think!  the magma is not that far down, just below the thin crust.

Steamboat geyser, Yellowstone

Steamboat geyser. It is unpredictable when it will activate and shoot hot steam and water, it could be everyday, once a week, or go up to 53 days before awakening. I guess we caught it on one of its good days.

Even if you don't see the gysers before approaching, you smell them a good 100ft. or more before you've approached one.  They give off a sulfur smell, sulfur deposits is what you see around the geyser, or the ring around the geyser.  It smells like deviled eggs that have been left out on the kitchen table too long.
