This is the Artists’ Paintpots, a field of boiling pools and mudpots. Minerals in the mud give the paintpots their color.
Next is the Norris Geyser Basin, which the National Park Service says is “one of the hottest and most acidic of Yellowstone’s hydrothermal areas.” It has lots of vents and small pools. Should you visit—well, this would be a good time to remind you of the warnings posted around the park.
Next is Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces. The area is notable for its travertine terraces—terraces formed by limestone deposited around flowing fresh water mineral springs.
Finally, the Dragon Mouth Spring.
