  • 12. Fountain Paint Pot Yellowstone National Park
    The Fountain Paint Pot is a mud pot located in Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The Fountain Paint Pot is named for the reds, yellows and browns of the mud in this area.

By the end of summer, the mud is much thicker as the water table drops.Several significant geysers erupt near the Paint Pots, notably Fountain Geyser, which usually has several large eruptions a day; Clepsydra Geyser, whi...
