Mammoth Hot Springs.
Heat, water, limestone, and a rock fracture all combine to form one of the most popular attractions within Yellowstone National Park; Mammoth Hot Springs.
Terraces made of crystallized calcium carbonate, with temperatures of around 161°F, these are considered some of the most colorful and ornate natural terraces in the world.
Located in Northern Yellowstone, allow for an hour to explore the hot springs and wander from terrace to terrace. A beautifully laid tourist trail allows visitors to circumnavigate the springs, taking in spectacular views from every angle.

such a beautiful place!
Megan,
I have to go to Yellow stone sooner or later! I keep hearing about it, seeing it, argh, am I missing out?
Are you going to rest in the hot springs over there?
Cheers,
Ken
I’ve never made it to Yellowstone, despite being in Northern Colorado for 4 times! Every time I was dissuaded by my American co-workers. They say: “don’t waste your time going there, we have nice views in our own backyard. If you want to, go straight to Calgary, where the beauty is many times better!”
