The Tours The Country The Guides The Gear ... Web Pages Is there any better reward, after a long hiking day, than to relax in a pool of hot water, softening the muscles and enjoying spectacular panorama ? What if the conscience tells you, you deserve it ? Hot springs and pools have been used for hygienic purposes, but man can also enjoy by looking and listening, even smelling. Since the colonisation of Iceland, bathing in pools has been a tradition, often in a social and political context (naked man is without arms), rather than hygienic. Maybe not surprising, since many natural pools are not very "clean". Sand and algae may stick to the body, specially when bathing with garments on (any serious bathtaker does so naked, when possible). Still today there are too many people which can´t see warm water without starting to dig, make dams or rolling stones. Therefore we don´t dare describing particular pools or geothermal zones, except for the most known. We´ll try to treat the subject generally; mostly what to avoid, how to behave when in geothermal zones, along with tips and tricks on how to use the presence of natural geothermal sources when hiking and camping. Many of the best known natural pools are made by local farmers, which have been gathering their sheep in the area. Some are simple dams but some are neatly constructed of stone, near the source(s).

Natural hot springs, the natural spa, is a heavenly experience in the great outdoors. Yellowstone National Park is the most diverse in thermal activity, renowned for the world's largest and most spectacular display of geysers, hot springs, and stem vents. Some 200 to 250 geysers spout off each year, a greater concentration of geysers than anywhere else in the world. The park also has thousands of hot springs and steam vents. Yellowstone's most prominent geysers and hot springs are found in six areas: the Lower, Midway, and Upper geyser basins on the southwest side of the caldera; Norris Geyser Basin's Porcelain Basin; Mud Volcano in Hayden Valley; and Mammoth Hot Springs. Hot springs in the park are often too acidic, with temperatures exceeding 170 degrees Fahrenheit for recreation use. There are area hot springs in Yellowstone National Park for recreational use. A designated area of the Firehole River, located in the Lower Geyser Basin, is open for swimming and enjoyment of its warm water. Along the Madison River, a group of warm water seeps in a side channel, known as the Madison Campground Warm Springs. The Boiling River, in the northern part of the park around Mammoth Hot Springs, offers a large hot spring which enters the Gardner River. Boiling River is the most popular soaking area, with a 6-foot wide stream of hot water plunging over travertine rock.

25. Water: Yellowstone's Geysers And Hot Springs including the removal of structures and facilities, changes in the accessibilityof certain features or other measures to safeguard geysers and hot springs. http://www.greateryellowstone.org/water/geothermal_features.html

The Geothermal Features of Yellowstone Fueling this natural splendor is one of the most active continental hot-spots anywhere in the world. In some places, the molten magma lies only one-half to two miles below the surface, compared to 25 miles in most places. This magma heats and pressurizes subsurface water, which becomes visible in a stunning array of geothermal features. The exact boundaries of the Yellowstone geothermal reservoir are still unknown, but a growing body of scientific evidence indicates that features within Yellowstone National Park are connected to recharge and discharge areas (places where water enters or issues from geothermal aquifers) well beyond Park borders. Geothermal areas outside Yellowstone Park include the Island Park Geothermal Area (IPGA), west and southwest of the Park, and the Corwin Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA), which adjoins Yellowstone Park along its northern boundary. The Status of Geothermal Resources in Greater Yellowstone The Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 provided for the leasing of geothermal resources. By 1979, over 200 lease applications had been filed on federal lands in the Island Park Geothermal Area (IPGA) along with leases on roughly 25,000 acres of state and private land. Recognizing the potential threat represented by these applications, the Geothermal Steam Act Amendments of 1982 included a ban on geo- thermal leasing and development on federal lands in the IPGA. They also required a study to determine the geothermal relationships between the Island Park Geothermal Area and geothermal features inside Yellowstone Park.

Nugget C: Cool Facts about Hot Springs and Geysers Hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles (or steam vents) can together be called thermal features. The largest hot spring in the park, and one of the largest in the world, is Grand Prismatic Spring ( left Q: How many thermal features are there in Yellowstone? A: Nobody knows. Actually, a thorough inventory is under way. Until that is completed, the best guess seems to be that the park has about 10,000 thermal features. Most geyser experts put the number of geysers in Yellowstone at 400 to 500. According to T. Scott Bryan's The Geysers of Yellowstone , "There are more geysers [in Upper Geyser Basin alone] than in any other area of either Yellowstone or the world." Q: What exactly is a geyser? A: A geyser is a hot spring that throws forth jets of water and steam intermittently. See the Upper Geyser Basin excerpt for some telltale signs of active geysers. For a full explanation of how a geyser works, see pages 82 to 84 in Yellowstone Treasures Q: How hot are Yellowstone's hot springs?

29. Hot Springs And Pools in Lower Geyser Basin, Pocket Basin is an area that can only be visited on foot,but it contains fascinating mud pots, hot springs, and several geysers. http://www.yellowstonetreasures.com/nugget11.htm

Nugget 11: Hot Springs and Pools of Many Colors Morning Glory Pool (left) was surely the most famous of Yellowstone's thousands of hot springs for the park's first 100 years. After that, the Grand Loop Road was rerouted, so that it no longer goes right past this pool. Having the road moved was a plus for the pool, which had suffered for years from being vandalized by thoughtless tourists. Now, seeing Morning Glory Pool requires a three-mile (5 km) round trip walk or bicycle ride through Upper Geyser Basin at Old Faithful Village. Diadem Spring (right) is a crown jewel of Pocket Basin. Located in Lower Geyser Basin, Pocket Basin is an area that can only be visited on foot, but it contains fascinating mud pots, hot springs, and several geysers. In August 2000, three young people were severely burned walking here at night, and one of them died. If you want to go there, ask a ranger's advice or go with a knowledgeable person. Silex Spring in the Fountain Paint Pot area usually looks about like this picture (at left), but in summer 2000 it surprised lots of people by erupting spectacularly for a few weeks before settling back to its more usual calm. It renewed its activity in the summers of 2001 and 2002. At left is Mushroom Spring and Dr. Thomas Brock. He and his coworkers found a heat-loving bacterium in this spring in 1965, and, as a result, the whole science of DNA fingerprinting began not long after. Research is continuing on the amazing variety of microorganisms found in Yellowstone. Mushroom Spring is near the wonderful and regularly erupting Great Fountain Geyser in Lower Geyser Basin.

31. Yellowstone Ode geysers, Mudpots, Fumaroles and hot springs. What makes Yellowstone s geysersand hot springs so fascinating to many visitors is their dynamic nature. http://www.geocities.com/~dmonteit/geyser_ode.html

Geysers, Mudpots, Fumaroles and Hot Springs A National Park Service Press Release By Rick Hutchinson March 1997 This press release was written by Rick Hutchinson, Yellowstone's research geologist, shortly before his untimely death in his beloved Yellowstone backcountry. ". . . and behold! The whole country beyond was smoking with vapor from boiling springs; and burning with gases issuing from small craters, each of which was emitting a sharp, whistling sound." So wrote fur trapper Joe Meek in 1829. T he rare, spectacular wonders Meek spoke about along with bubbling mudpots and erupting geysers are the main reason why the Yellowstone plateau was set aside 125 years ago this month (March 1, 1872). Back then, wildlife was considered merely a commodity for food or income, and the wilderness scenerymountain ranges, deep canyons, expansive forests, and large lakeswas viewed as an obstacle to travel and settlement. There was no gold or other precious mineral wealth to be found here, and the climate was too severe for ranching or farming. In short, Yellowstone was considered worthlessbut it did have some curious hydrothermal attractions that people might enjoy. So, the world's first national park was created. What makes Yellowstone's geysers and hot springs so fascinating to many visitors is their dynamic nature. While some geysers, such as Old Faithful and Great Fountain, have been steadily active throughout most of the park's recorded history, others are quite rare and irregular. For example, Steamboat Geyser, the world's tallest geyser when active, has had intervals ranging from 5 days to 50 years; the most recent eruption was on October 2, 1991.

Quick Guide Introduction Geysers Hot Springs Fumaroles ... Yellowstone's Geysers Photo of Grand Prismatic Spring from the "Attractions within 3-4 hours drive of Idaho Falls" page. Y ellowstone N ational P ark is home to some 10,000 thermal features, over 500 hundred of which are geysers. In fact, Yellowstone contains the majority of the worlds geysers. Within Yellowstone's thermal features can be seen the product of millions of years of geology at work. Much of Yellowstone sits inside an ancient volcanic caldera (the exploded crater of a volcano). The last major caldera forming eruption occurred 600,000 years ago. For hundreds of thousands of years following that, subsequent lava flows slowly filled in most of the caldera. Even now, in some places, nearly molten rock resides as little as 2-5 miles below the surface. Heat from the volcanic activity makes its presence known by heating ground water and creating the thermal features we now see. The four basic types of thermal features present in the Park are

Geysers, fumaroles and hot springs are generally found in religions of young volcanic activity. Surface water percolates downward through the rocks below the Earth’s surface to high temperature regions surrounding a magma reservoir, either active or recently solidified but still hot. There the water is heated, becomes less dense, and rises back to the surface along fissures and cracks. Sometimes these features are called “ dying volcanoes” because they seem to represent the last stage of volcanic activity as the magma, at depth, cools and hardens. Geysers: Large amounts of hot water are presumed to fill underground cavities. The water, upon further heating, is violently ejected when apportion of it suddenly flashes into steam. This cycle can be repeated whit remarkable regularity. Fumaroles, which emit mixtures of steam and other gases, are fed by conduits that pass through the water table before reaching the surface of the ground. Hydrogen sulphide, one of the typical gases issuing from fumaroles, readily oxidizes to sulphuric acid and native sulphur. This accounts for the intense activity and brightly coloured rocks in many thermal areas. Hot springs occur in many thermal areas where the surface of the Earth intersects the water table. The temperature and rate of discharge of hot springs depend on factors such as the rate at which water circulates through the system of underground channels, the amount of heat supplied at depth, and extent of dilution of the heated water by cool ground water near the surface.

They exist in many parts of the volcanic regions of the world such as Japan and South America but their greatest development is in Iceland, New Zealand, and Yellowstone National Park. There are 120 named geysers in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, and perhaps half that number unnamed. Most of the geysers and the 4,000 or more hot springs are located in the western portion of the park. The most important are the following: Norris Geyser Basin has 24 or more active geysers; the number varies. There are scores of steam vents and hot springs. Steamboat is the largest active geyser in the world, sending water more than 300 ft. into the air for 3 to 20 minutes. It emits water every few minutes, but its major eruptions are infrequent and erratic.

39. Mammoth Hot Springs The Mammoth hot springs area differs from the Upper, Middle and NorrisGeyser Basins in that there are no geysers in this thermal area. http://www.hanksville.org/daniel/geology/mammothhs.html

Mammoth Hot Springs The Mammoth Hot Springs area differs from the Upper, Middle and Norris Geyser Basins in that there are no geysers The hot springs at Mammoth flow over a series of travertine terraces . While traveling from the Norris area to Mammoth, the water has passed through limestone, which is readily dissolved in hot water. Thus the water emerging at Mammoth Hot Springs is saturated with calcium carbonate. As this water approaches the surface, the water cools and the pressure drops. Minerals precipitate out of solution as calcium carbonate deposits in the terraces. Algae and bacteria live in the warm waters. It is thought that they are also responsible for for some of the mineral precipitation here. If the terrace rocks are thinly sliced and then viewed under a microscope, many very thin, lacy layers are seen. These are interpreted as levels in the photosynthetic activity of the bacteria during the day followed by periods of rest at night. Therefore the terraces seen here are the result of both geologic and biological processes. The deposition of the terraces occurs very rapidly. The average rate found here is 8 inches a year. A U.S. Geological Services drill hole found 253.4 feet of travertine deposits. In this region, away from the central Yellowstone caldera, the sub-surface water temperature is much lower than in the other thermal basins.
