Mud Volcano Trailhead
- Type: Place

The Mud Volcano area has many mudpots and hillsides strewn with trees cooked by steam. The hydrothermal features here are some of the most acidic in the park. Mud Volcano is near the greatest uplift and sinking of the Yellowstone Caldera floor. Many faults converge here and earthquakes are common.Approximately 0.6 mile (1 km) loop trail. The clockwise route is less steep than the counterclockwise route. Start at the south trailhead for a more gradual incline up the hillside.

Norris Geyser Basin Trails (Porcelain Springs Junction)
- Type: Place

Norris Geyser Basin is one of the hottest and most acidic of Yellowstone's hydrothermal areas. It is outside of the most recent Yellowstone caldera, but inside the first and largest caldera. It sits on the intersection of three major faults and is a very active earthquake area.Each year, new hot springs and geysers appear while others become dormant. Geologic events trigger many of these changes. Even small earthquakes can alter hydrothermal behavior. Clear pools become muddy
