Unique American Attraction - Mammoth Hot Springs

The Mammoth Hot Springs in the United States is a unique natural hot spring resort, surrounded by natural forests, as if in an unpolluted primitive world. The fresh air is filled with the unique scent of the hot springs. The most famous of Mammoth Hot Springs is its unique thermal terrace landscape, where the hot springs flow down the hillside in sections, layered like terraces, which is a great spectacle. ♨How to play at Mammoth Hot Springs? Mammoth Hot Springs is divided into Upper Terraces and Lower Terraces. The Lower Terraces have a boardwalk for visitors to walk & tour, the boardwalk is very easy to walk, you can see all in about an hour, with the famous Liberty Cap, Palette Spring and Minerva Spring. The Upper Terraces is a road about 2.5 kilometers long for visitors to drive 🚗. You can park your car in the parking lot of the Lower Terraces, and go to the Upper Terraces after visiting the Lower Terraces. If time is tight, it is recommended to visit the more famous Lower Terraces first, especially the Palette Terrace and Jupiter & Mound Terraces at the entrance of the trail. I arrived at one or two in the afternoon, and the parking lot was almost full. The flow of people feels much more than the attractions on the east side of Yellowstone. ⚠Note: It is best to go at noon or in the afternoon, otherwise the temperature is too low in the morning and evening, and the mist of the hot springs will make it unclear

The super cool Mammoth Hot Springs, a treasure spot in Yellowstone Park

Mammoth Hot Springs♨️ in Yellowstone National Park is the most popular geothermal wonder. It is located on the east side of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and is one of the largest hot springs in the park. Mammoth Hot Springs is known for its incredible colors and grand scale. It is the largest known carbonate deposit hot spring in the world. The landscape is mainly composed of limestone terraces, also known as hot terraces, which can be divided into Upper Terraces and Lower Terraces. The spring water of Mammoth Hot Springs♨️ comes from the Norris Geyser Basin, with a temperature up to 77℃. Many algae live in the hot springs, making the color of the hot springs brown, orange, red, and green. The flowing hot springs rush down the terraces with different colors, forming a colorful large terrace, the scene is very magnificent . In addition to its eye-catching colors and scale, Mammoth Hot Springs♨️ also shows the magical power from the depths of the earth, with hot water continuously gushing out from the ground, forming a magnificent pool. The temperature in this pond is extremely high, giving people a unique visual and sensory experience. In addition to its magnificent color, Mammoth Hot Springs is also eye-catching for its huge scale. Its diameter is about 60 meters and its depth is more than 30 meters. The color stairs around the hot springs form a fascinating scene, attracting countless tourists to stop and watch. Mammoth Hot Springs was the first major attraction we saw, it was really spectacular! From a distance, it is a white terrace landscape with colors in the middle! It reminds me of Jiuzhaigou, but it's a completely different beauty! 📝Of course, when visiting Mammoth Hot Springs, you must follow the guide's arrangements and pay attention to safety! Because the water temperature is extremely high, it is kept above 80℃ all year round. Therefore, visitors must strictly abide by the park's warnings and safety instructions , and must not approach or attempt to touch the 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.

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.

Take the time alone to digest the world, Norris Geyser Basin.

Norris Geyser Basin 📝Attention tips: This place is very big, you can walk around the wooden plank road, but be careful, this is still the most acidic pool, don't fall in! 👍Most recommended: Although everything here is beautiful, because there are not many scenic spots in the upper part, everyone can still save some energy and enter directly from the West Gate and walk north, which I believe will definitely bring you a visual shock! ❤Recommendation reason: Why is it called a geyser? Because it is in a volcanic area, the hot lava will raise the temperature of the surrounding water layers, even turning them into steam. When the steam encounters cracks in the rock layers, it rises along the cracks, and when the temperature drops below the boiling point, it condenses into high-temperature water. These accumulated waters, along with the upper groundwater, rise to the surface along the cracks in the layers and erupt periodically, forming a geyser. In this natural boiler, there must be a deep spring water channel. The underground water is heated by the hot magma under the channel, but is also under pressure from the high-pressure water column above the channel, unable to freely roll and boil. The narrow channel restricts the convection of the spring water up and down; thus, the water below the channel is constantly heated and accumulating energy until the steam pressure at the bottom of the water column exceeds the pressure at the top of the water column. Then, the high-temperature and high-pressure hot water and steam underground will push all the water in the channel out of the surface, causing a powerful eruption. After the eruption, as the water temperature drops and the pressure decreases, the eruption will temporarily stop and accumulate energy again for the next eruption.

Grand Prismatic Spring Grand Prismatic Spring, also known as the Grand Rainbow Hot Spring, is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. With a diameter of over 100 meters, it displays different colors such as blue, green, yellow, orange, and red from the center outwards, making it the largest and most beautiful scenic spot in terms of area and color. It is impossible to see the panoramic view of the Grand Prismatic Spring from the peripheral trail. Viewing the prism up close is greatly affected by the constantly rising hot steam and wind, which greatly reduces the viewing effect. The best angle to see the prism is from above. To see the full view of this beautiful "Yellowstone eye", you have to climb the mountain behind the Prism Spring. Drive southeast along the highway, walk along the river road for about ten minutes, and you can see the prism emitting hot steam on your right hand side. On the left side of the mountain, there is a small path that many people have come out of, which is not very difficult. After climbing to the platform on the mountain for about ten minutes, you can see the panoramic view of the prism. There are trails in the Prism Spring scenic area, but it is not very clear to see because of the steam.

Spend a night at Yellowstone National Park

Why would you go to a natural hot spring when you have a hot tub at home?🛁 Because hot springs are actually natural wonders, not just mineral-rich waters that have accumulated in pools or been channeled into man-made spas. Grand Prismatic Spring is the biggest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. The center of the spring is sterile due to extreme heat about 188.6 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in a deep blue color, surrounded by rings of color ranging from green to red, which is caused by bacteria that flourish in the warm, mineral-rich waters. 🏊‍♀️Despite the fact that swimming is prohibited for obvious reasons, this is one of the most photogenic thermal phenomena on the planet. 📍：Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park, United States

The Yellowstone Grand Canyon is located on the east side of Yellowstone Park. Although it is not as spectacular as the Colorado Grand Canyon, it is also a unique landscape in the Yellowstone Park, which is famous for its geothermal heat. Due to time constraints, we just chose two main locations in the south of the canyon: Lower Falls and Lookout point. One is the immersive waterfall, one is the far view of the waterfall, from near to far, it can be regarded as a deep tour of the lower waterfall in a limited time. There is a one-way car lane from Lower Falls to Lookout point. You can also take a section of the north rim trail. We walked all the way through this road and there is basically no scenery, so it is recommended to drive and save time. From here you can see the panoramic view of the lower waterfall. The Pentium's Yellowstone River forms a landscape through the yellow canyon. Huangshixia Waterfall must go to the lower waterfall to watch. It takes about 30 minutes on foot, depending on your physical strength. This road is not a flat road, but a downward round, so the downside is easy, but the upside is more painful. Due to the large drop, the Yellowstone River is so powerful that it is very turbulent. Green water rushes, the sky is high, and the scene is magnificent! Of course, if you have enough time to visit the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, there are plenty of walking trails and the famous Artist Point.
