    Norris Basin is the oldest and hottest of all the thermal areas in Yellowstone National Park. Dating back to over 115,000 years, there is evidence to show the area was geothermally active and hot springs would have been present. The basin can be subdivided into two smaller areas, Porcelain and Back Basins. Each area has their own distinct features and are worth the visit.

        The tour is a must. There is smoke, hissing and bubbling everywhere. The different colors of the pots and springs will never cease to amaze you.
