Midway Geyser Basin in Between, WY is home to a small collection of mammoth-sized springs, including the famous Grand Prismatic Spring and Excelsior Geyser. Despite its small size, Midway boasts two of the largest hot springs in the world, with Grand Prismatic Spring nearly 370 feet in diameter and Excelsior Geyser discharging over 4050 gallons of boiling water per minute.
Rudyard Kipling immortalized Midway Geyser Basin as "Hell's Half Acre" during his visit to Yellowstone in 1889. Visitors can explore the colorful springs and unique geological features in this isolated basin, but caution is advised due to unstable ground and unmaintained trails.
