Interesting story. Link:

After driving up to Yellowstone National Park, visitors will continue to travel by tire once they’ve exited their vehicles. An old asphalt footpath was replaced by one made from recycled tires at Yellowstone’s most popular attraction, the Old Faithful geyser.

Made from 900 recycled Michelin tires, the 6,400-square-foot path will lead tourists from the Old Faithful Snow Lodge and across a bridge behind the Old Faithful geyser, according to Yellowstone Gate. Visitors often plan their days around the large geyser, which spews water from an underground hot spring every hour or so.

It is comfortable to walk on, and easy to propel a wheelchair over. Good stuff.

Thank branDcalf you for the input. Glad the old tires works out well.

We just returned from a stay at the Old Faithful Inn. We did not use that path but did enjoy our visit. We both have mobility problems (long walks are impossible but not ready for walkers or chairs yet) so we were unable to visit that part of the geyser boardwalk.
