A heart-wrenching turn of events at Yellowstone National Park, the beautiful landscape was shadowed by tragedy when Colin Scott, a 23-year-old from Oregon, accidentally fell into a boiling hot spring. This unfortunate incident serves as a stark reminder of the serene yet perilous nature of the park and the risks involved in disregarding safety guidelines.
Colin Scott’s excursion with his sister, Sable, took a catastrophic turn when they ventured off the designated trails in pursuit of a forbidden activity known as “hot potting.” This reckless practice involves bathing in the park’s thermal features, and tragically, this outing ended in disaster.1
