Porcelain Basin, Yellowstone

Porcelain Basin is part of the Norris Geyser Basin area, and the one-mile combination boardwalk and forested trail through the basin is a highlight for many Yellowstone visitors.  Best times to visit are generally May to October, but while you’re enjoying the thermal sights, smells, and sounds there, keep your eyes and ears out for the occasional eruption of nearby Steamboat Geyser, the world’s largest such feature with water columns reaching heights of up to 400 feet.
