Artist Paint Pots Trail

The Artist Paint Pots Trail is a short trail to some small geysers, hot springs, and steam vents (fumaroles), near Gibbon Meadows.  One of the easiest hikes in the park, and there are  some nice little thermal features to great you at the end.  Most are quite small, and unlike some of the geyser basins and other areas, it's not all barren around the features.  There's quite a bit of green vegetation in the area as well.
