Minuteman Geyser and Shoshone Basin It's probably true that the Shoshone Geyser Basin has more geysers than any country in the world except Russia (and the United States). It's nine miles from a road, so it works best as an overnight.

#Minuteman #Geyser and the #ShoshoneGeyserBasin. After eating lunch at this spot, I had plenty of time to explore the #hydrothermal basin. Wonders abound.

Note the absence of people.

Black Sulphur Springs A busy little bubbler with drainage straight to Shoshone Creek.

Another scene from #ShoshoneGeyserBasin in #Yellowstone - 18 mile (30 km) round trip by shortest route. You can also reach it by #kayak.

For safety of the #geysers and #hotsprings - and #you! - stay on the semi-marked #trails.

Iron Spring One of the first few features you see upon arrival at the Shoshone Geyser Basin (unless you're coming from Bechler).

#IronSpring provides a friendly welcome as you arrive at #ShoshoneGeyserBasin in #Yellowstone #backcountry. This is the fourth-largest #geyser basin in the world, with more geysers than any country other than the #UnitedStates.

#ShoshoneGeyserBasin, #Yellowstone #nationalpark. This spot is about 10 miles (16km) from the nearest parking lot.

By itself, this basin has more #geysers than any country other than the #UnitedStates. It doesn't see many visitors.

Iron Spring and Shoshone Basin - HSS! The Shoshone Geyser Basin is Yellowstone's largest backcountry geothermal area. See more here: www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2019/09/exploring-parks-yel...

This view includes the central part of the #ShoshoneGeyserBasin in #Yellowstone, best as a #backpacking trip. You'll see that it's not unlike the #UpperBasin, #LowerBasin, or #Norris - except that I had the place to myself.

Foreground is #IronSpring.

After setting up camp, it was time to explore the #ShoshoneGeyserBasin - the largest geyser basin in #Yellowstone without a road. It's also larger than any other basin in the world other than the big three in Yellowstone.

Sunset over the Shore Group - Explored There's a very small backcountry campsite across Basin Bay from the Shoshone Geyser Basin. Most of the basin lies behind the hill, but the Shore Group is visible from this side. It's a glorious campsi...

After a boring few miles in the woods, the trail returns to #ShoshoneLake. If you're lucky, and have a small party, you can camp here with view of the #ShoshoneGeyserBasin.
12 miles by my route, or 9 miles over a pass via #LoneStar.

#DeLacyCreek gradually gives way to wetlands as you approach #ShoshoneLake in #Yellowstone.

Day hikers should have lunch, explore as they like, and return. #Backpacking? Camp here, go around lake, or overnight to #ShoshoneGeyserBasin.

The #trail along #DeLacyCreek starts with this nondescript forest scene. It will take us to #ShoshoneLake and then to camp near the #ShoshoneGeyserBasin.
