Walking into Norris Geyser Basin is like visiting another planet. The geothermal features in this basin are always changing, highly acidic, and have the highest concentration of silica in Yellowstone.
The Pinwheel Geyser is in the distance, with runoff from Whirligig Geyser giving a colorful display from the thermophiles.
The unusual Blue Mud Steam Vent.
We all liked the Green Dragon Spring.
Puff 'n Stuff Geyser.
Crater Spring.
Steamboat Geyser is the world's tallest active geyser with water shooting 300 feet into the air for anywhere from 3 to 40 minutes, but full eruptions are unpredictable. It hasn't had a major eruption since 2005.
Emerald Spring is 27 feet deep and the temperature is almost boiling.
All of the photographs on this blog were taken by me unless otherwise noted. If you would like to use any of these, please contact me at mtsrool@gmail.com. Thanks!

Welcome to my blog! I live in beautiful Telluride, Colorado with my husband and three kids. I started blogging for family and friends to keep up with what we have been doing and it has kind of turned into an on-line diary for myself also full of my favorite photos.
