YellowStone National Park 2013: Mammoth Hot Springs + Canyon Falls

By Cathy H - 3:11 PM

This is the first day we arrived, our first destinations is the white snow-like terrace steps that make up Mammoth Hot Springs. Photos make it look like snow season in the hot summer heat! I would say the first impression here is it's half desert and half geysers and different colorful cyanobacteria components. We than drove down to the Falls and basically saw it from every angle, reminds me of the Grand Canyon except there are narrow streams of rivers that carved their way into the valleys. Also saw a elk that I tried to get as close as possible to photography but couldn't as tourists were urging me it's not safe haha. There's something here for everyone!
