Right in front of the Hotel by Old Faithful complex there is an extensive boardwalk which takes you through the Geysers. I think the shortest is over a mile and if you take the entire route is close to three !!! A must walk ...
During the winter a visit will require a trip on the snowcoach !!! Difficult getting around since the board walk has lots of snow/ice while the ground being warm is free of snow.
Actually, the steam cools fast. But it is a volcano, so it could get hotter someday! :eek:
Al, Haven't been there in winter yet. That season I try avoid, except here in Florida, if at all possible. Been there and done that! But I have friends in Idaho that often go there for the weekend in winter. Word is if you like winter, it is a nature paradise. I know the images would be awesome as the steam really show up.
