从山上看不错,走起来挺累的我们没走完,看起来不大,走起来要全部走完有点大啊感觉最好的景观是在山上看下去,很大气。走下去了反而觉得没什么特别了。而且,我们去的时候水量很小,很多都干了
This is probably the hottest geyser basin in Yellowstone. In 1929, test wells were bored to determine the subsurface temperatures, which increase geometrically with depth here. The effort had to be abandoned after a temperature of 401 degrees was encountered in one hole only 265 feet deep, which heat threatened to destroy the drilling rig. The basin is packed with hundreds of geysers, pools, hot springs, and other hydrothermal features. Boardwalk trails, a couple of feet above this harsh terrain, lopped through the area, allowing us access to places we would not otherwise have tread. There were bison here, some standing in shallow water.
A lot of people feel the same way I do - a walk on the boardwalk of the Norris Geyser basin is a must on your way in or out of Yellowstone. The variety, scenics and trails are terrific.
冒烟的山并不在Norris geyser basin,但一定和这一片地热密切相连。在傍晚路过该山是竟然一点没有发现他的异常,但是二天早上路过是发现其蒸蒸腾腾,好像立刻就会爆发一般。这也是一种喷发的形式呵。非常值得一看!
The Norris Geyser Basin is divided between the Porcelain Basin and the Back Basin. We walked the loop boardwalk trail around the Porcelain Basin. The milky color of the mineral deposited here inspired its name. We continue our walk around the thermal area stopping at Congress Pool, Colloidal Pool (a large, shallow, funnel-shaped pool or three or four pools when the water level is low which is how we see it) and Sunday Geyser (a long narrow pool named in response to its large initial eruption on Sunday, July 12, 1964 but since then it rarely erupts). The bright rainbow colors of the water run-off are pretty near Pinwheel Geyser. Crackling Lake and its neighbor Crackling Lake Spring complete the loop. From the basin overlook, we also see Black Growler Steam Vent actively billowing steam. A connecting path leads us to the Back Basin (1.5 mile loop trail). We pass by Echinus and Steamboat Geysers – neither is erupting. Vixen Geyser is a deep-throated bubbling geyser with a dry gray surface. Veteran Geyser smolders in steam. I overhear a couple watching the water eruptions from one of the thermal features. “That was a good one!” You know how people applaud firework displays? Well; visitors appreciate Yellowstone’s geyser eruptions the same way as fireworks. Go, geysers!
Sometimes you may feel you are tired or seeing geysers (there are so many of them in YNP), but every 2 mins you will come across one totally different than any you had seen previously. And that's what makes Norris must visit. The steamboat geyser is the most popular geyser here, but it's more frequent eruptions are not that impressive. And you are most likely not going to catch the non-frequent ones (these are months apart). Other than this, there are many small geysers and pools - some that look like they belong in heaven, some that look like they belong in hell.
Another example of how Yellowstone is so much more than just Old Faithful. Get here early as the parking lot is not huge and spots become scarce. The place is other-worldly. Pre-historic may be a better description. The variety of geysers, springs, vents. etc. has you walking through a steaming landscape. As we started to walk through the back basin it began raining so (if you want to call walking in the rain lucky) we were lucky enough to have the place all to ourselves. It was an experience I will never forget.
据说这片geyser海拔较高,是黄石最热的地方,确实枯萎空荡荡一大片,没有树荫,中午过来时温度略高,有很多条铺好的trail走,几乎平路,比较容易走,不过景色没太多特色
We saw this as part of our Tauck winter wonderland tour. So beautiful. Our favorite part was the Fountain Paint Pots. Fascinating thermal activity and so picturesque.
The Norris Geyser Basin is another lovely place to stop and go for a hike and take in the various geological features of Yellowstone.It you are lucky you are catch the steamboat geyser - but it's so unpredictable, so I wouldn't bank on it. The colours are lovely, and there are lots of wide open spaces to see the changes in the landscape.The colours are a tad less vibrant than the other basins, so if you had to pick 1 to skip, I'd skip this one - but if you are there more than 24 hours you should have time to stop in. And like everything else in Yellowstone - awesome.
