High Tower Waterfall

Yellowstone National Park, also known as Yellowstone Park, is managed by the National Park Service of the United States. On March 1, 1872, it was officially named a national park for the protection of wildlife and natural resources. In 1978, it was listed as a world natural heritage site in the World Heritage List, making it the first national park in the world. Yellowstone National Park covers an area of approximately 898,317 hectares, mainly located in Wyoming, USA, with parts in Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone Park is divided into five areas: the Mammoth Hot Springs area in the northwest, which is mainly composed of limestone terraces and is also known as the Hot Terrace area; the Roosevelt area in the northeast, which still retains the old western landscape; the Canyon area in the middle, where visitors can see the Yellowstone Grand Canyon and waterfalls; the Yellowstone Lake area in the southeast, which is mainly characterized by the lake and mountain scenery; and the Geyser area in the west and southwest, which is full of geysers, hot springs, steam pools, hot water ponds, mud and fumaroles. There is also a historical museum in the park. The park is one of the largest volcanic craters in the world and has one of the largest forests in the world. There are over 10,000 hot springs and more than 300 geysers, as well as over 290 waterfalls. The park features landscapes such as Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone River, canyons, waterfalls, and hot springs, making it a famous tourist destination. Yellowstone National Park is proudly referred to by Americans as the "most unique and magical playground on earth". The park is easily accessible, with a mountainous road stretching over 500 kilometers, connecting the main attractions of each area, and hiking trails extending over 1,500 kilometers. Tower Fall is located on the north side of Yellowstone National Park, with a waterfall drop of 132 feet, making it the most famous waterfall in the park. The area near Tower Fall is a frequent spot for black bears. The Tower Fall, with its cascading water, is twice the height of Niagara Falls, and the Lookout Point is the official best viewing spot.

Mammoth Hot Springs
Mammoth Hot Springs MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS: Located in the northwest of Yellowstone Park, it is the largest proven carbonate sedimentary hot spring in the world. Looking at Mammoth Hot Spring from a distance, it looks like a mountain covered in white snow, but when you get closer, you find that it is the perfect combination of Pamukkale and Huanglong. The snow-white and dark-yellow steps formed by the hot springs are like terraced fields. When the hot spring gushes out from the limestone layer, the hot water will dissolve the calcium carbonate in the limestone into the water. When the water flowing out of the surface cools down, the calcium carbonate in the water will condense and deposit into a lime platform because it is too saturated. When the underground outlet hole is blocked by accumulations, the spring water will flow to other outlets to form another platform. The spring water deposited in the platform is affected by the activities of algae and microorganisms, so it forms yellow, white, brown and other colors, and the layers are stacked to form "travertine steps". It is a pity that after a crustal movement in Mammoth Hot Spring in 2002, most of the hot springs stopped their activities, resulting in the death of a large number of microorganisms, which made the Mammoth Hot Spring lose its color, and the dead bacteria also turned into off-white powder, which remained in the On the great dry steps. Reflecting the dazzling sunlight, it turned this place into a barren land of austerity. In a few years, the hot spring ruins will further collapse and turn gray, and even the white steps may not be visible.
