This beautiful hot spring is full of crystal clear blue water. The pool is connected to the nearby Steamboat Geyser by a series of underground tunnels. When the geyser erupts, the hot spring completely empties requires a few days in order to replenish itself.

Very easy to reach on the flat wooden walkway, very hot on sunny days
