Midway Geyser Basin

The Midway Geyser Basin is much smaller than the other basins found alongside the Firehole River. Despite its small size, it contains two large features, the 200-by-300-foot wide Excelsior Geyser which pours over 4,000 U.S. gallons per minute into the Firehole River. The largest hot spring in Yellowstone, the 370-foot wide and 121-foot deep Grand Prismatic Spring is also found here.

Photographically this was difficult for me to capture in winter. Lots of steam. Low sun angle near dusk. Just enough wind from the wrong direction to spread the steam over the whole area. If it were still the steam would have went straight up which would have been a little better. But there were many good photo opportunities.
