#2 Fairy Falls - Correct
#3 Champagne Pool in Waiotapu Geothermal, New Zealand - Correct
#4 Lone Star Geyser - Correct
#5 Imperial Geyser - Correct
#6 Is on a paved trail in the Old Faithful area but kind of remote and all by its self.
So I guess we're celebrating with Champagne instead of Tea or Punch! ;)

Rez is not so good. Any takers on this one?
One hint: Getting to these pools is easy -- gentle hike about 1/2 mile from paved road.

Megan and I have been here 3-4 times. There is something a little different about the source of the water for this waterfall...

It's a warm waterfall from a hot spring! So cool!Quote:

Okay, time to close this out (bearing in mind these are merely my best guesses):Quote:

#1 is Artemisia Geyser that can be found if you keep hiking on the dirt path past Morning Glory Pool in the Old Faithful area. Artemisia is also a tea
#6 is Punch Bowl Springs which is also in the Old Faithful Area It is a short side trip on the trail leading west from the Daisy Group loop.
So to recap - Yellowstone - off the beaten path

BUT then I also found where there had been a mud slide and it looks like it's not what it use to be.
