Roaring Mountain, Norris Junction
Roaring Mountain, named in 1885 for the constant howl of escaping steam, is an acid scrubbed hill. And while the mountain no longer roars it still steams and the steam vents, known as fumaroles, emit an audible hiss. This roadside attraction is a must stop for families traveling Grand Loop Road from Norris Junction to Mammoth Hot Springs.
