Marked trails lead to these basins, but none of their features are identified by signs. Although one is free to wander among the hot springs, the hiker should remember that all thermal areas are dangerous and that extreme caution is necessary. In the following descriptive chapters, the geysers are detailed according to geyser basin. Each area is further subdivided into groups, within which the geysers are described according to the order in which they lie along the trail. Every set of descriptions is followed by a table summarizing the activity of that group.
Tritium is radioactively unstable and decays with age. Young water contains considerable amounts of tritium, whereas old water contains little or none. Tritium is nearly absent in most Yellowstone waters. In fact, it is commonly believed that the water erupting from Old Faithful today fell as precipitation roughly 500 years agoaround the time Columbus was exploring the West Indies. At depth, the water is heated by contact with the enclosing volcanic rocks. Once heated, it dissolves some of the quartz from the rocks.
