Norris Geyser Basin

ONE HUNDRED SPRING PLAIN

This off-trail section of Norris Geyser Basin is flat, sandy, and extremely dangerous. Much of the underlying ground is hollow and many of the thermal features are acidic. Most of the hot springs in this area have never been named.

Flat and desolate, 100 Spring Plain lies off the trail system
