The ones that confuse me are the ones farther toward Biscuit Basin  
like Hillside and Biscuit Basin.  Does anyone have photos of  them?


A bit puzzling, this request. Hillside (Geyser) is almost directly across  
the river from Fantail Geyser, high atop the geyserite mound. It is essentially  
impossible to see anything of it from any legal position. When I was most  
recently at it (legally, circa 2003 or 2004), its water level was many feet  
below ground level, as it has been continuously since the development of nearby  
Seismic Geyser.
 
Biscuit Basin (Geyser) is one of the numerous features on the open, gentle  
slope north and northwest of Baby Daisy Geyser. Close looking from across the  
river shows it to splash a bit -- but I only recognize it because  (legally 
again) I've been right to its edge. (Back in the early 1980s, we  rangers had 
the "Geyser Gazing" nature walk, in which people paid 50 cents to  ride the bus 
to Biscuit Basin parking, and then walked off-trail from there to  Morning 
Glory Pool. I led the walk once per week for 2 or 3 years.) 
 
In any case, I don't have a readily-accessible photo of either of these (if  
I have any at all).
