We are heading north on the west side of the lower loop of the main road and are between the Upper Geyser Basin and the west entrance road. This is Midway Basin, which one reaches via a bridge over the Firehole River. The hot water pouring into the river is from Excelsior Spring, one of the main features of the basin. Midway is a small geyser basin but has one of the largest and most spectacular hot springs, Grand Prismatic Spring.

This is the runoff water from Excelsior Spring in Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The photo was taken from the bridge that crosses the Firehole River providing access to the geyser basin.
