Photograph of a tour group stopped in front of a geyser cone in Yellowstone National Park. In the near distance, a group of twenty or so tourists stand clumped together with their backs to camera while on a tour of the park. They stand right-of-center. Beyond them and left-of-center, a geyser cone rises. Steam wafts from the right side of the cone ahead of the group. Pines line the background at right.
