Orientation

Norris Geyser Basin
You are close to a world of heat and gases where microorganisms live in such massive numbers they add color to the landscape. This strange, beautiful place is on the edge of a giant volcano-the Yellowstone Volcano-one of the largest on Earth.

Norris Geyser Basin Museum
On your way to the geyser basin, you will arrive at the Norris Geyser Basin Museum. This historic stone structure opened in 1930 to help orient park visitors to Yellowstone's amazing geologic history.

Norris Bookstore
At the Norris Bookstore (located just ahead on the trail), you can find books and other educational material about Yellowstone's abundant wildlife and rich geologic and cultural history.

Norris Campground
From here, Norris Campground is located 1½ miles (2.4 km) north on the road to Mammoth Hot Springs. It also can be reached via the foot trail between Porcelain Basin and the campground.

(sidebar)
Carry a water bottle with you. There is no drinking water ahead.

Restrooms are located in the parking lot. There are no restrooms in the geyser basin.

Accessibility Information
Due to Norris Geyser Basin's rough terrain and highly changeable conditions, please expect uneven ground and steep grades that exceed 8%. Wheelchair batteries may not support uphill climbs. Boardwalks contain numerous steps. Rocks and roots protrude into sections of dirt trail.

For a similar experience viewing geysers or hot springs, please see the map (at right) for locations with wheelchair accessible trails. The Museum of the National Park Ranger (1 ½ miles north, or 2.4 km) and adjoining outdoor exhibits are wheel chair accessible.
