    Leather Pool is a hot spring located in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Geyser Basin. Prior to the 1959 Hebgen Lake Earthquake, it maintained a temperature of approximately 139.3°F (59.6°C) and was characterized by the presence of brown, leather-like bacteria. The earthquake caused the pool's temperature to rise, eliminating these microorganisms and leading to eruptive activity. Over time, Leather Pool's temperature decreased, allowing the brown bacteria to recolonize. Visitors can observe Leather Pool along the Fountain Paint Pot Trail, which showcases a variety of hydrothermal features, including hot springs, geysers, mudpots, and fumaroles
