150 feet on a board walk.... This is literally riding the line between a walk and hike..
.
THIS WAS SO OUT OF CHARACTER FOR ME. If you follow my hiking her say or what not, you must know by now... I HATE CROWDED AREAS. Yellowstone is more than a crowd... It is a testament to the park rangers whom so gracefully keep the park in excellent condition BUT GET SCHOOLED BY YOURS TRULY. *cough cough* Sorry... Lets be official here....
A naturally beautiful area as the Prismatic Springs are is a true area in which is proof that Yellowstone's beating volcanic heart is truly alive and well. The vibrant colors of each spring which are full of micro-organisms which only exist at this heated state and are thought to be the single celled organisms that began the long process of morphing into EVERYTHING you see, know, touch and what not. It truly is a humbling area to know that is what primordial earth looked like. Most people, standing in this spot do not realize that below their feet is a volcano big enough to kill humanity(99% of them are focused on the animals of the area) and are blissfully unaware BUT if you ever go, take a minute, look about, and realize that.
