After we finish breakfast and pack lunches, we are off to Yellowstone again - Mammoth Hot Springs is on the list. Yellowstone is just incredible - as we walked through the Norris Geyser Basin, we passed this little hole with a tiny bit of water in it labeled Vixen Geyser. As the children passed it, it erupted 15-20ft into the air and continued erupting for 8-10 minutes, then drained back down into the earth like a sink drain. Some of the thermal features just look like a rusty crust, but the sound eminating from them is reminiscent of bacon frying in a pan or a gurgling sound that is difficult to describe.
Ken got great photos to add later. We had a bison walk right up next to our vehicle - that was exciting!
