Grant Campground serves as an excellent base for exploration, with campers having the opportunity to venture into the wonders of the West Thumb Geyser Basin, the largest geyser basin nestled along the shores of Yellowstone Lake. This unique geological feature showcases the fascinating result of ring fractures formed as the magma chamber beneath the Earth's surface bulged and subsequently cracked, releasing the enclosed magma. The remnants of this geological activity contribute to the ongoing heat source that fuels the captivating phenomena found within the West Thumb Geyser Basin today.
