Black Sand Basin is one of a grouping of geothermal hot springs and geysers located in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The spring is too hot to use as a mineral bath as its scalding 200 °F (93 °C) or hotter water has proven to be fatal. In the winter, a marked ski trail runs from the Old Faithful Visitor Center to Black Sand Basin
Insider tip — The 35°C thermal waters of Wyoming are renowned for complete relaxation.
