The park sits on top of a geologically active supervolcano, which means some of these hydrothermal features can reach up to 456 degrees Fahrenheit! Keep a close eye on signage at the park to be sure it's safe to stray off the designated paths.
If you have your heart set on a swim or a soak, don't worry! There are still places where it's safe to get into the water like the Boiling River and the Firehole Swim Area.Â
