This is a great spot to observe a variety of geothermal activity in Yellowstone . Geysers, springs and mud pots can be seen via a stroll around the boardwalk. Amazing Sites!

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.
