      This is the main attraction and one of the most beautiful geothermal areas in the park. It is located directly on the shore of Yellowstone Lake. The basin is famous for its unique scenery, where hot springs, mud pots, and geysers steam against the backdrop of the cold Yellowstone Lake and the distant Absaroka Mountains.
      Although there is less geyser activity than in other basins, West Thumb offers a wide variety of hydrothermal features.
