This is a short and easy walk on a boardwalk to see multiple different colorful pools and active geysers. It wasn't too crowded and I think that is why it was one of may favorite stops. The different colors in the area were impressive.

We're so pleased we stopped here. It is less busy than other attractions and well worth seeing with a variety of features including a small geyser which decided to "erupt" as I stood next to it. Such an amazing place.

Easy stop to make and worth the walk around to see several thermal features. The star of the show is the sapphire pool.

Itās a very pleasant walk around the Biscuit Basin on the boardwalk. The pools are all so beautiful. It isnāt the best sight in Yellowstone, but if you have time, definitely make this a stop.

We loved walking around Biscuit Basin. There were so many beautiful pools and fun geysers in this area. The boardwalk makes it accessible to all!

This was a nice place to visit. There is a boardwalk for this little hike around these springs. They are very colorful. This was worth stopping by.

Like Black Sand Basin, this is a quick stop just up the road from Old Faithful. At this point we had already seen a few hundred geysers, so we were starting to get a little bored of the geysers. There are some paths to walk in this area.

We finally made it into Biscuit Basin late on the first day. The crowds had largely left and we were able to find a parking spot. As we approached the Basin, there was a nice, picturesque stream to cross. There were a number of geysers and hydrothermal water works to enjoy. The Jewell Geyser and the Shell Spring were both quite active while we were there.

The Biscuit Basin had deep blue colors that were incredible to see. We were told to use this entrance to hike to the Majestic Falls. The signage was a bit confusing and we were not the only group who had to backtrack to find the exact route. The hike to the falls was difficult (expect varied terrain) and crowded. The falls were beautiful but overly crowded so it was difficult to truly hang out and enjoy the falls.

la prima domanda ĆØ: ĆØ consigliabile trovare un hotel nei pressi di west yellowstone, e restarci 4 notti, facendo ogni giorno una escursione diversa, raggiungendo i vari siti, oppure fare il giro a 8 fermandoci dove e quando vogliamo?
seconda domanda: se io non prenoto in anticipo, posso sperare di trovare motel anche modesti, lungo il percorso, oppure ci sono soltanto gli hotel offerti da booking o venere?
