Midway Geyser Basin
This was the view crossing the walking bridge over Firehole River. Waters from geysers at the Midway Geyser Basin on the right run down into the Firehole River on the left. The waters are very hot as you can see steam coming off the stream flow from the right. In the background center steam rises off of the Excelsior Geyser Crater. The colors on the rock are due to chemicals coming out of the water as well as possible thermophiles - heat loving microbes. Other water features at Midway are the Opal Pool, Turquoise Pool, and the Grand Prismatic Spring.
