Yellowstone National Park: Norris Geyser Basin

Porcelain Basin, Norris Geyser Basin


The large acidic Norris Geyser Basin has the display of the hottest, oldest and most dynamic geysers. 

Steamboat Geyser is located at Norris and is the world's tallest geyser, erupted last on the 31 July 2013 reaching a height of a 30 story building. It has frequent smaller eruptions from 3 to 14 meters  we watched the smaller eruptions and missed the more impressive 10 meters. I was secretly hoping for the biggie to celebrate my upcoming birthday…oh well, Vixen was just as much fun.
