Another beautiful are of the Park. The colors of the surrounding land only enhanced the shades in the water. Should not be missed! (From a visit in September, only 5 years ago, due to an incomplete entry, my error, only!)

Much easier to enjoy in terms of crowds. More dramatic color. Much more enjoyable. To me, this was the highlight of Yellowstone. Otherwise i found the park ( even in September) to have a fair number of hassles. Whether it be insufficient parking, large crowds of unappealing people like you would find at an amusement park, trailers going too slow in front of you. Also, we were warned again and again by gaper guide ( get this!!!) about the wildlife. Not interested in hiking amidst just so much.

My husband and I kept thinking we would bypass some of the thermal stops along the way while touring Yellowstone, but we found ourselves stopping because we've wanted to go there for a long time and it would stink (pun intended) to not see it all. ;) Biscuit Basin was one of those places that we ended up stopping at when we thought we would keep going and we were glad we did. It's just all so unusual and surprising and has it's own awesome beauty.
