The Great Prism Hot Spring is a landmark in Yellowstone, but if you want to see images like propaganda on a poster, you have to do helicopters in the air to watch, or climb the mountain next to it when time permits, the scenery is even more perfect.

    Big Prism Grand Prismatic Spring, one of the most famous hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Big Prism is a representative work of Yellowstone, like a business card of Huangshan's welcoming pine. People can never go to Huangshan, but you must have seen the image of the welcoming pine; Similarly, people may not have been to Yellowstone, but the panorama of the Great Prism must have appeared on the top US tourism list. The colorful prism, about 100 meters in diameter, is the largest and third largest hot spring in the United States, nearly 50 meters deep, the water temperature is as high as 85 ℃, and 2,000 liters of spring water are poured out every minute. In the rainy sky, it looks more steamy. The angle that pedestrians can see is a side plane, not the panoramic view of the air seen on the major brochures. But even if it is only a corner, it has felt its momentum, and there is a feeling of not knowing the true face of Lushan, just being in this mountain. There is another kind of general God-level scenery that will not be easy to see. The whole day of sightseeing, just a few minutes of staying here, it rained, the climate at this time, the wind and rain, people feel in the arms of nature, with the sky clouds, the wind and rain, the chic. I have always believed that all encounters during the journey are fate, and enjoy the full experience of the wind and rain and heat between the world. Here, it is a classic! The following paragraph is heard on the Internet: "The beauty of the big prism hot spring is that the color of the lake changes with the season, and in spring, the lake changes from green to brilliant orange red, which is due to microorganisms such as algae and pigment-containing bacteria living in mineral-rich water bodies. The ratios of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their bodies change with the seasons, so the water body takes on a different color. "So, in the summer we arrive, the chlorophyll content here is relatively low, showing orange, red, or yellow. But in winter, due to lack of light, these microorganisms produce more chlorophyll to inhibit the color of carotenoids, so they see the water body appear dark green. Compared with the big prism, there are three small hot springs around, although there is no big prism atmosphere, but still exquisite and beautiful.

    One of the most famous attractions in the United States, located in the Rocky Mountains known as the "American Ridge", spanning three states, is the world's largest volcanic basin park. It is full of hot springs, and the Great Prism Hot Spring is the most famous and beautiful hot spring. Under the intense sunlight in summer, the hot spring water transpiration, with reflected blue light, and various colors displayed with surrounding sulfur and other minerals, formed a unique landscape of colorful prisms, and the scene made people linger.

    This is the most magical hot spring in Yellowstone Park. Just along the outer trails, you can't see the panoramic view of the Great Prism Spring in full. Looking at the Great Prism up close will be affected by the rising hot vapors and wind, and the viewing effect will be greatly reduced. The best angle to see the Great Prism is to overlook. To see the whole picture of this beautiful big eye of Yellowstone, you have to climb the mountain behind the big prism spring. Drive southeast along the road, there is a parking lot called fairy falls, and then cross the iron bridge, to the right, walk along the riverside road for ten minutes, you can see the big prism on the right hand side rising hot, there are many talents on the left mountain out of the path, not difficult to be afraid, ten minutes, Climbing up the platform on the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of the big prism. There are trails in the big prism scenic area, but it is not very clear because the heat is steaming.

    On a sunny day, the steam above the pool is reflected in blue and red by the pool water and the red fungus moss by the pool. Because of its size, standing on the side of the road can not take the whole picture of the pool, you can go to the opposite mountain to see the whole pool (from a piece: Midway Basin The parking lot goes south. There is a small parking lot next to a small sign that says: "Fairy Falls", you can climb the gravel path to the mountain from here. This is the best view except for aerial photography.)

    The Great Prism is also called the Great Ion, because it is from the center of the water to the edge, with red orange, yellow, green, blue and purple similar to the color of the rainbow, which is dazzling and incredible. The dramatic color of the Great Prism Hot Spring is composed of physical, chemical and biological interactions. Blue is visual, and orange and brown are made up of bacteria living near boiling points. The lake color of the Great Prism Hot Spring changes with the season, and in spring, the lake changes from green to brilliant orange red, which is due to microorganisms such as algae and pigment-containing bacteria living in mineral-rich water bodies, and the proportion of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their bodies changes with the season. Change, so hot spring water body also presents different colors. In summer, the chlorophyll content is relatively low, appearing orange, red, or yellow. But in winter, due to lack of light, these microorganisms produce more chlorophyll to inhibit the color of carotenoids, and see the water body appear dark green. Midway Geyser Basin There is a fairy trail in the parking lot on the edge. From here, you can climb to the top of the mountain with your bare hands to overlook the big prism hot spring. Far from the flat ground to the big prism, under the severe sky, the ground plane actually vacated the colorful glow, and the water vapor refracted the iridescent color of the big prism. We see aerial view of the Great Prism in countless magazines and posters to understand the significance of this classic landscape for the entire American geography and national park system.
