Yellowstone National Park has attracted a fair few bare
"tourism=attraction" objects. How would you tag the following:
* Boiling River and Firehole Swimming Area, naturally-heated stretches
of river that are popular for swimming.
* Petrified Tree, a large, petrified section of tree trunk.
* Soda Butte, the rock formation left behind by a long-extinct geyser.
* Norris Geyser Basin, Upper Geyser Basin, Artist Paint Pots, Fountain
Paint Pots, and other named groups of thermal features.
* Roaring Mountain, a hillside that contains a large number of steam
vents.
All of these are well-known, named places in the park, and any
reasonable park map needs to include them. Upper Geyser Basin in
particular is the main reason people come to the park (it's the one
that contains Old Faithful).
