The van slows as the valley exhales — steam rising from hot springs, a late sun turning rhyolite cliffs to warm ochre. You step out into the cool of evening with a guide whose eyes are tuned to hushes in the brush.

The tour moves deliberately, stopping at geyser basins and river overlooks where the geothermal theater plays against prairies and lodgepole forest.
