Lower Geyser Basin has a much less concentrated set of geothermal features then other areas in the park.
The main feature is the Fountain Paint Pots, which are a hot spring that contains boiling mud instead of water. The mud is produced by a higher acidity in the water which enables the spring to dissolve surrounding minerals to create an opaque, usually grey, mud.
