10)  West Thumb Geyser Basin -- This geyser basin features some interesting thermal features, including several which are in Yellowstone Lake itself.  It also offers a good view of the Lake.

Several hiking trails begin at the basin, and bison, elk and bears frequent the area.  The basin is a favorite stopping point for snowmobilers and snowcoaches in the winter months.
