habiba and alex we're amateur hikers and backpackers and we create video content
every Tuesday howdy out how deep
in the previous episode of winter in Yellowstone we shared with you our first
experience snowshoe into observation point to enjoy a 360 degrees view of the
beautiful Old Faithful geyser we'll check a couple of other geysers in the
park like solitary geyser here and we had a fun and nerve-wracking bison
encounter and we made it back to Old Faithful Lodge right on time to touch
the snow coach and leave the park to get to Mammoth Hot Springs we will be making
a couple of stops on the way to enjoy the landscape and more thermal features
in the park and this is what we will share with you in today's episode of
winter in Yellowstone our first stop is fountain paint pot trail it's a nice
point sixth loop trail on a bold walk and that's good for all skill levels
this trail is located within the lower geyser basin and you will be able to see
all four types of hydrothermal features including geysers Hot Springs mud pots
and funerals
my personal favorite a hydrothermal feature where damad pots or paint pot
they are very acidic bacteria comes up through the water from deep in the earth
and it eats hydrogen sulfide and it poops sulfuric acid as a by-product and
as it comes to the surface it brings with it a lot of particles of clay which
is really cool to see
you
can't use my hand I will have ever using my hands because my hands are not yeah
Kirk from Georgia
stay to the left baby
the interesting thing about this geyser is that it used to be a cycle geyser
meaning that it goes on and off just like the other geysers in the park but
since 1959 and due to an earthquake in the basin it entered what is known as a
wild phase erupting almost continuously to heights of 45 feet
it was cool right we're checking this waterfall here firehole waterfall
