There are over 500 active geysers in Yellowstone National Park.
“In thermal areas, the ground may only be a thin crust over scalding hot springs, and there is no way to guess where a safe path is,” the park’s website says.
“New dangers can arise overnight, and the pools are acidic enough to burn through your boots. Therefore, you must stay in designated walking areas. The park service has installed boardwalks to provide easy and safe approaches to thermals.”
