A simple off the road attraction in Yellowstone. The steam vents around here are further examples of the alive volcano around you here. The vents are dyed their rich colors due to minerals AND the microorganisms again as they bubble and vent. If you're like me... You stick you hand AND phone in one to find out the temperature... Each has a unique smell too. For instance, a mud pot smelled to me, like Mac and cheese. Strange as it is... I'm glad that isn't what Kraft uses in there sauces...
