Norris Geyser Basin

Norris Geyser Basin, the hottest, oldest, and most dynamic of Yellowstone’s 11 geyser basins, offers a vivid glimpse into the Earth’s inner workings. Located in Yellowstone National Park, this basin is home to Steamboat Geyser, known for its eruptions that can reach up to 300 feet (91 meters). Visitors navigate the area on boardwalks that hover just inches above the active supervolcano, surrounded by the hissing and bubbling of geothermal features. The ever-changing landscape, with its steaming vents and colorful hot springs, provides a unique and immersive experience.
