Interesting observation, Jack. I have heard that the hot spots move over the years. Note the dead tall trees in the background. The ground was at one time suitable for tree growth long enough for the trees to get that tall, but then it changed. From their size, the alive trees appear to be young.

I just skimmed through the US Geological Survey web site on Yellowstone. There were 110 earthquakes just in July! The largest was only 2.9. The ground level is continuing to rise at a rate of about 11 cm in 23 months.

I think the dead tall trees were probably burned in a severe wild fire at Yellowstone a few years ago...There was a bad burn a few years ago that opened up a lot of arears for better viewing...it also opened up the us forest service eyes to the purpose of wildfires; We no longer have a Smoky the Bear- only you can prevent forest fires mentality...the forest service even performs prescribed burns especially of the underbrush to reduce the severity of fires in times of drought...csroc

But, still interesting to read about the geology there.

You're right, this was a burn area. In fact, the whole hike up there (and it is ALL uphill, baby!) is like through a Christmas tree farm, with deadfall here and there. It is also true that you can often see the evidence of movement of a thermal area by the death of the trees. Every so often holes open up and spew steam in the middle of parking lots, too.
