Some really incredible views here. The Sapphire spring was gorgeous, and one of the better hot springs that we'd seen. More

Biscuit basin was the first ever feature I visited in Yellowstone NP. I was overwhelmed. Since then I visted this place four times - two of these visists dedicated to the Sapphire pool and the jewel geyser. This place is an amazing work of nature. Next time I go back, I am going to pray for sunlight. More

This is a must stop on the way to Old Faithful (from West Yellowstone). Though there are no massive jets of water erupting from the earth. The small springs scattered across the basin are extreme colorful and picturesque. More

Biscuit Basin is one of my favorite places in Yellowstone. It offers an easy and short, less than 0.5 mile hike on boardwalks. But what I really love about BB, is that it's the starting point to Mystic Falls. BB is about 2 miles north of the Old Faithful clover leaf. At the BB parking lot, cross the bridge and... More

Biscuit Basin is sometimes passed by, as people are on their way to... More
