The sulfuric gasses escaping from the ground create yellow sulfur crystals, break down the magmatic rocks to clay tinged red with iron, and fill the air with a smell reminiscent of rotten eggs. Indeed, decaying eggs produce the same hydrogen sulfide gas that seeps through the ground near the volcano.

Volcanic gases pour out of the ground and form yellowish crystals on the rocks.

This little vantage point gives a good overview of the Sulfur Banks Trail. From the explanation you can see very well that you are exactly between the inner and outer edge of the crater. Everywhere the gas, mainly sulfur, escapes from the ground.
