Yellowstone Geysers & Hot Springs. In Yellowstone National Park there are about 500 geysers and some 10,000 thermal features. Yellowstone contains the majority of the world's known geysers.

Many lesser-known geysers are equally impressive and can be seen along park roads or at the end of short hikes.
