This place ties for my favorite site in the park. It was very steamy because of the differentials in temperatures (springs are hot, it is cold out...) but it was still beautiful. As you can see from the first pic, the water overflows into the Firehole stream (hot mixing with cold). The two biggest basins are the Excelsior and the Grand Prismatic. Again, lots of thermophiles making the water pretty colors. Here we also saw brilliant orange (one of my favorite colors...).
It's really hard to show the beauty, that's why I included one of the signs. We were supposed to do a hike to get an aerial view (like the one on the sign), but it was too steamy. We wouldn't have been able to see it clearly. Oh well...
