Black Sand Basin

Black Sand Basin
Just north of Old Faithful inn, we went to explore Black Sand Basin, one of Yellowstone’s most colorful basins that boasts a small isolated collection of geysers and hot springs. There you will find a small collection of jewel-like geysers, and colorful hot springs. Emerald Pool is the most colorful and famous of these springs. It is a deep emerald green fringed by an outer ring of yellow and orange. This was definitely one of my favorites. Temperatures of the pool run around 154.6°F, so stay well back of the pool. The colors of the pool are the result of lower temperatures which have allowed yellow bacteria and algae to grow on the outside of the pool. The clear water of the pool reflects the blues but absorbs the other hues of the color spectrum. The combination of blue and yellow then produces green. Spectacular!
