A 60-year-old woman received third-degree burns while walking in a thermal area in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming this week, according to park officials.
Visitors are urged to practice “extreme caution” in hydrothermal areas by staying on boardwalks and trails.
Pets are prohibited on boardwalk and hiking trails in the backcountry and in thermal areas, according to the park service.
And in March, actor Pierce Brosnan, best known for playing James Bond, was fined after he posted photos of himself standing on off-limits thermal areas of Yellowstone in the previous year.
In August 2023, a Michigan man was charged with two federal misdemeanors after he burned himself in one of Yellowstone’s thermal areas, federal prosecutors said.
