A girl about 20 was escorting friends near Beehive and explained that you could not swim in the Firehole River in the area because the river was much too hot.</div> <div> </div> </font><br> </blockquote> My guess on this is it was implied from the book "Yellowstone Trivia" by Janet Spencer:<br> <br> (question about the Firehole river)  "By the time it reaches Firehole Falls below  Lower Geyser Basin - a distance of about 12 miles as the crow flies - what is the river's water temperature?"<br> <br> (answer) "110 degrees F"<br> <br> At least for me, 110 degrees F would be way to hot to swim.<br> <br> I myself have never swam in the Firehole river, but I have seen many swimming below Firehole Cascades (well above Firehole Falls), and I have placed my hand in the water there.  It sure felt much less than 110 degrees F.<br> <br> Ken Reeves<br> </body> </html>
