West Thumb

West Thumb = geothermal paradise. There are more geysers in Yellowstone than any other national park, and the West Thumb supports a large quantity! The general landscape is varied; in the areas uninhabited by the hot springs, the land is often characterized by grass, dirt, and trees. But where the many pools and geysers remain, the terra turns peaty and sparse. Some coarse grass often roots itself near, but the banks themselves often hold only small rocks. Fog rises steadily from the hot springs, which often bubble as freshly warmed water arises. The geysers set off every so often, and are a wonderful sight to behold.
