One of the the most amazing placse I've ever been was a 10-12 mile backpack in from the Old Faithful area. There's a large group of these pools there and they are isolated and away from where fat-ass tourists can park their Winnebagos. Not only do these bacteria thrive in the geothermally heated water, but each variation in temperature produces a different color. This pools in this basin fill a palette. Psychedelic!
