Claim this place to tell your story your way.
Despite its fascinating geothermal features, its remote location makes it less frequented by tourists.
The basin is home to several fumaroles, which are openings in the Earth's crust that emit steam and gases.
Visitors must trek a steep 2.8-mile trail to reach the basin, which deters many casual tourists.
It was one of the first geyser basins to be explored by early park visitors in the late 19th century.
The elevated position of the basin provides stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape.
