https://purestpotential.com/s8uls8alkqq Black Sand Basin is a rather isolated group of thermal features in the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. There are several jewel colored pools and geysers in the area, but I had a hard time concentrating on the specific geysers because the earliest light from the sunrise hitting the steam in 40˚F weather had turned this area, already a Wonderland, into a gigantic, purplish-yellow kaleidoscope of almost unnatural, but dazzling color.

Later, when I watched Old Faithful–the big geyser draw in the park–amongst a noisy crowd of onlookers, I kept thinking I had already seen the real show — at sunrise in Black Sand Basin.

  1. https://penielenv.com/0hr7111ydx I agree that you saw the real show! Beautiful shot! A noisy crowd would throw me off, I think. Such beauty, in solitude, is priceless!

      enter site We were at the thermal areas before sunrise every day and after sunset, too — when most sane travelers were either snug in their lodging facilities or eating leisurely meals. I’m glad we had our tiny trailer — we’d roll out, grab cereal and hot tea/coffee and be on the road. For sure, we saw some of the best of Yellowstone.
