More than half of all the geysers on the planet are located in Yellowstone National Park. Learn all about the mysterious hydrothermal features and Yellowstone's volcanic past - and present!
With more than 10,000 hydrothermal features including more than 300 geysers, Yellowstone is one of the most geologically dynamic areas on Earth with one of the largest volcanic eruptions known to have occured on our planet. The park's geysers and hot springs put on a spectacular show of steam, mist, mud and caleidoscopic color arrangements. The expressions of geothermal activity in the park are as dazzling as they are mysterious on first glance. The hissing, spitting grumbling, bubbling and knocking sounds just add to the otherworldliness of Yellowstone's diverse geyser basins on the west side of the park, roughly from Mammoth Hot Springs to Old Faithful.
On our Geysers & Hot Springs Tour, you will learn about how Yellowstone's prehistoric volcanic activity is still tied to these astonishing and very dynamic features. Amazingly, they are also habitats for microscopic organisms called thermophiles. These hydrothermal communities reveal the extremes life can endure. We will visit various geyser basins with examples of the many possible forms of hydrothermal features.
