A New Hampshire woman was burned while walking off-trail near thermal pools in Yellowstone National Park.

The park reports the woman was walking with her husband and leashed dog near Mallard Lake Trailhead at Old Faithful when she broke through a thin crust over scalding water. She reportedly suffered second- and third-degree burns to her lower leg. The husband and dog were not injured. She was flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center for treatment.

The incident is under further investigation.

Traveling off boardwalks or designated trails in hydrothermal areas is prohibited in the park. Pets are also prohibited on boardwalks, hiking trails, in the backcountry and in thermal areas in the park.

Earlier this year, a car carrying five people drove into and fully submerged in the Semi-Centennial Geyser thermal feature between Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Junction. They were able to get out on their own and were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
