Hot spot: Yellowstone road melts, closing sites

Hot spot: Yellowstone road melts, closing sites - Yahoo News: "The ever-changing geology of Yellowstone National Park has melted an asphalt road, blocking access to several popular geysers and other thermal features at the height of tourist season.

Park officials said Thursday they're evaluating how to address the problem.

Meanwhile, they're telling visitors not to hike into the affected area. They say the danger of stepping through a solid-looking crust of soil into boiling-hot water is just too high."
