He ignored warnings, jumped barricades to enter thermal area By Mike Moffitt, SFGATE Published 2:49 pm PDT, Monday, September 24, 2018 The geyser basins of Yellowstone National Park are clearly marked with signs warning people to stay off the geyser basins.

Stunned tourists, appalled by the brazen flouting of park regulations — not to mention the inherent danger — yelled at the man and implored him to get back on the trail.

They are perched on wooden boardwalks with shade and open … [Read more...] about Hot Springs in Colorado: ‘A sanctuary’ at end of joyful journey to San Luis Valley
