1. Grand Prismatic Spring, Wyoming
As beautiful as these hot springs are, you have to know that they are extremely dangerous! If you want to take a trip to the Grand Prismatic Spring in Wyoming, you will be completely fine as long as you are respecting all the recommendations and warning signs that the Park Rangers give you.
We can’t say that everyone does what they are told to do, which has led to many accidents and more than 20 deaths. People who’ve lost their lives fell into the boiling waters and couldn’t be saved.
There are also people who want to test out the waters’ temperature, even though they know it’s forbidden. They end up with strict and harsh burns, which let’s be honest, are not the best way to end a vacation!

I have been to several of these n so have my adult children with their young families. You FOLLOW the rules and you will be ok!!
Stay away from it I say.
I myself haven’t been to any of those places but being from Cherokee NC with the Great Smoky Mountains neighboring our Reservation, you see people taking risks all the time. Of course everyone loves seeing the wildlife but when they want to crowd up around the elk, putting themselves and the elk in danger, is not smart at all. The same goes for bears who are even more dangerous and to some people they don’t care! Clingman’s Dome and the Chimneys are other great places to see but not without risks. Not that far of a hike but the high elevations, steep paths to the top and sometimes high winds are unseen hazards to remember.
I have been to most of thee places and always felt safe because I can walk and chew gum at the same time, ( i. e. obey the signs and rules.)
