the trail crosses generally
rocky land with some tree
cover. There is not much
change in elevation until
the 100-foot drop into the
thermally active basin.
The active area can be
seen (and smelled!) from far

with various steaming pools
and unusual multi colored
soils stained orange, brown,
yellow and green by sulfur
and other minerals. Together
with the occasional white
snow patches, the (usually)
deep blue sky and the aqua-
marine waters, the spectacle
is extremely beautiful and
colorful.
This tour will begin at
9 a.m. at the ranger station
in Chester and will end no
later than 4:30 p.m. Morning
refreshments, snacks, bever-
ages and lunch are provided
along with bus transporta-

Participants are encour-
aged to wear good hiking
shoes or boots and bring a
refillable water bottle, a
walking staff and a camera.
The cost for this tour is $50
per person or $95 per couple.
