(a former service road) goes through meadow and burned forest and passes near a large hot
spring, Cyclops Spring.
The ridge at the south end of the bicycle path is Whlie Hill, the site of a tent camp from the
1890s until 1916. William W. Wylie set up several such inexpensive camps around the park
for stagecoach passengers. His managers at this camp piped water from Punch Bowl Spring to
the tents, in this case without apparent deleterious effect to the spring. They made a notch in
the geyserite rim (obvious even today), through which most of the spring's runoff still drains.
A short distance beyond the bicycle path, Geyser Route Two ends at the main walkway. To
return to the Old Faithful Village area, turn right. To see more of the geyser basin, turn left.
Grotto Geyser is just up the short hill, and Riverside Geyser is not far beyond. The walk from
Grotto to Morning Glory Pool is described on pages 93-95.
