July 16th paint pots

Walking around the paint pot trail with the kids. It stunk! That is the best I can say about the smell, just think rotten eggs. It will give you the idea.


This is the white paint pot. Notice the poor little pine tree in there. I do not think it has a lot of chance making it. They also had a red spouter it was called where the mud was red instead of the white.


The kids loved this gyser as they could be so close to it. They got wet from the mist but did not seem to care. They watched it for a good 15 minutes before we pulled them away to look at other things.


Here is one of the hot springs there. I love the color and the kids wanted to know why they could not get close to touch or take a bath in it. Pretty from afar but only from afar!
