The thermal areas within the park include five types of hydrothermal features, including hot springs, geysers, mudpots, travertine terraces and fumaroles, per Yellowstone National Park’s official site.

Park visitors are advised a series of rules around the thermal areas, including: “Do not travel through thermal areas after dark; Stock are not permitted in thermal areas; Altering or putting objects in thermal features is prohibited; and swimming, soaking or bathing in water that are entirely of thermal origin is prohibited.”

The park warns that the ground below the thermal areas “may be only a thin crust above boiling hot springs,” and there is no confirmation whether or not the area is safe.

Additionally, parkgoers must stay in the park’s established walking pathways because the “pools are acidic enough to burn through boots."

Along with avoiding the thermal areas, park services advise that visitors need “to be cognitive of their surroundings and responsible for children that are touring the geyser basins.”
