Thermal Basins Yellowstone National Park
“Land of the burning ground” is the name given by North American tribes for the thermally active sites in the Yellowstone area. Many popular hiking trails in Yellowstone are thought to be on trails of Indigenous peoples dating back roughly 12,000 years, when at the end of the last ice age humans first appeared in the archeological record. Many tribes passed in and out of Yellowstone on a seasonal basis with another name for the thermal basins being “big smoke” because of the numerous geysers.
