What to expect

Start by downloading your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map all in one. The audio stories play on their own based on your location. You can start anytime and pause anywhere. Most stops along the tour have animated videos allowing you to visualize what you cannot see, such as snapshots from different centuries or interior rooms.

Your journey through the West Thumb Geyser Basin begins next to the West Thumb Information Center. From here, you’ll begin your stroll along the boardwalk and learn about the complex hydrothermal systems underlying this fascinating geyser basin. Then watch those systems in action at the Surging Spring and Collapsing Pool!

Next, the tour takes you to Thumb Geyser and Blue Funnel Spring, where you'll hear about Daniel Potts and his significance to the history of the basin.

Continuing to Twin Geyser and Hillside Geyser, you'll discover the intricate patterns of geyser eruptions and the science behind them. Then, at the Abyss Pool, immerse yourself in the stories of its depth and allure, followed by the serene beauty of Black Pool.

The Big Cone Geyser and Lakeshore Geyser reveal yet more about the geologic wonders of Yellowstone. As you stroll along the shores of Yellowstone Lake, enjoy the panoramic views and learn about hidden geysers beneath the lake’s surface!

You’ll then circle back and see Bluebell Pool and Seismograph Pool, a pair of hot springs with an unusual history. Your tour concludes beyond these two pools, right near the spot where it began.
