West Thumb Geyser Basin.

     After the cruise we headed south to the West Thumb Geyser Basin. We'd thoroughly enjoyed our time there in 2012. Near the entrance, fall grasses:


   
     The basin is right on the lake and there are boardwalks. We love boardwalks.




     Painted pools.


   



     Fishing Cone is so named because (apocryphally) fisherman once caught fish in the lake and simply lowered them into Fishing Cone, still on the hook, to cook in the boiling water.




     The Tour Director, still journaling.
