It is amazing to walk around Norris and watch all the small and large guisers breathing and then erupting. It is truly beautiful. More

This geyser basin has so much to see - you can walk long walks or short walks, and be amazed all along the way. If you have to do just a 20 minute stop, do it! If you can spend a couple hours, even better. More

Lots of activity and hot pools but very active and sulphur smelling, not good in the heat, especially if you have a weak stomach. More

We were able to walk on the boardwalk, you don't want to venture off because the water is boiling hot. The colors and the beauty of the area is outstanding. More

We took a day trip to Norris, and it is, like most of the park, much different in winter. While paths aree more stomped snow than shoveled, walking around is easy. The museum was closed, but who really goes to Yellowstone to seee a museum!? The geothermals and mountain scenery were great, and the trip was very worthwhile! More

My wife and I visited Norris Geyser Basin in early September, 2011. Our visit was brief as we were moving our base from Old Faithful Village to Roosevelt so we were just driving and exploring as we went.
