這Biscuit Basin 環線步道, 總共0.5英里.

介於 Midway Geyser Basin和老忠實泉之間.

在Firehole River這岸停車過橋,

之後這Sappire Pool, Mustard Spring,
Avoca Spring, Shell Geyser, Jewel Geyser,
Black Pearl Geyser, West Geyser,
Black Opal Spring, Wall Pool,
和Silver Globe…… 等

溫泉熱水地形地貌,
就一一展現在你眼前.

先是右側的Sapphire Pool.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c4cf/15250596/814133803_m.jpg)
Sapphire Pool
以其顏色為名,
水溫華氏200~202度,
面積18x30英呎.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c40b/15250596/814144359_m.jpg)
1959年地震時, Sapphire Pool也受到影響.
間歇兩小時的噴發高度為150英呎,
強力噴發破壞原來的結構,
使原來的坑口變成原來的兩倍大,
剔透的池水稍為失色.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c4bd/15250596/814142233_m.jpg)
雖然1968年,
Sapphire Pool停止他間歇泉的功能,
但是大量的熱水仍然源源不絕的排出來.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c491/15250596/814150637_m.jpg)
Jewel Geyser,
水溫華氏199度,
每5~10分鐘噴發一次,
每次持續60~90秒,
噴發高度10~30英呎.
其地底部分,
也許和Sapphire Pool有聯通.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c49c/15250596/814150392_m.jpg)
Shell Geyser,
以其坑口有如貝殼為名,
水溫華氏200度,
間歇1.5~數小時,
每次噴發持續20~90秒,
高度5~8英呎,
未噴發之時,
遊客在步道上會以為這 Shell Geyser
是一個乾涸的泉眼.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c423/15250596/814145407_m.jpg)
我很喜歡這West Geyser的
藍色水晶一般潔淨的水質,
以及水底被一層銀白覆蓋的枯枝.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c489/15250596/814149093_m.jpg)

這裹著一層塗料的枯枝,
其實到處可見.
你瞧, 這個小小珊瑚狀的,
是不是既單純又完整?!
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c4b3/15250596/814151439_m.jpg)
我還喜歡這個似乎是崩掉一塊
冒著一點煙的;
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c4df/15250596/814147899_m.jpg)
還有這Silver Globe 極薄的地層……
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c47b/15250596/814147031_m.jpg)
離開Biscuit Basin時, 看
河邊的那對母女還在.
![](https://imageproxy.pixnet.cc/imgproxy?url=https://7.share.photo.xuite.net/ambersbellavita/170c45a/15250596/814134454_m.jpg)
我們來的時候,
那位媽媽就已經坐在河邊聽風賞鳥,
後來女兒加入了,
作媽媽的索性把腳探入河中,
享受一時的清涼.
優遊自得, 雲淡風輕.
看我像集郵一樣
蒐集一枚又一枚的間歇泉, 一個又一個噴氣口,
她們會不會笑我:
來黃石
還拼甚麼業績啊?
