Yellowstone National Park
 A Virtual Tour


The West Thumb Geyser Basin consists of three distinct groups. The Potts Hot Spring Basin is the northernmost section with the Lake Shore Group further south. The Potts Hot Spring Basin and the Lake Shore Group are not accessible to the public. The Lower Group is the southernmost section. It is the only group that is open to the public and has an extensive boardwalk system. Although there are no steps on the boardwalks, steep grades exist between Twin Geyser and Abyss Poll making the boardwalk system handicapped accessible only with assistance.

This is a virtual tour of the Lower Group only.
