Whirligig Geyser, Norris
|
Today, we're taking the
Grand Loop to see the Northern part
of the Park. At
Norris, we took the back basin trail. We were shocked to see
that Steamboat Geyser, which often doesn't erupt for years, had erupted 4 days earlier! We still enjoyed the other
features: Emerald pool, Echinus Geyser and the sizzling Black Pit Spring. As we
were heading back Vixen Geyser was playing for the tourists, it quit soon
after we arrived. But the most colorful displays were the views of Porcelain
Basin with its pastel colors.

We headed up to
Mammoth Hot Springs, but only a few areas of
the terrace were active: grassy spring, Cupid Spring, and the Mound Terrace. We
completed the loop around the park, stopping at
Tower Falls. Next time we'll
have to spend more time in the Northeast section of the park.
