Yellowstone National Park Part 3

Posted on October 20, 2020 | 5 comments

In this post, I am focusing on Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.

*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!

The village is a bustling place (and is home to historic Fort Yellowstone), but I want to share some of the travertine terraces with you. The travertine terraces are hot springs that rise up through limestone, dissolve the calcium carbonate, and deposit the calcite.

The boardwalks are not too difficult (you can take a stroller), and I encourage you to take the time, if you can, when planning to visit the park.

Palette Spring from above (the spring that flows over the terraces in the previous photos):

I like the last photo because of the strong color definition between the deposits.

See the world around you!

Stay healthy! Stay safe!

Yellowstone National Park Part 2

In yesterday’s post, I focused on some of the animals in Yellowstone National Park. Today, I am focusing on some geology in a picture heavy post.

When Hubby and I visited Yellowstone last year, we did not have the opportunity to see this magnificent geologic feature of the park.

We took an evening stroll on the boardwalk.

Strolling the boardwalk is a great way to take in details, but if one wants to see the magnitude of the Grand Prismatic, than one needs to hike to the overlook.

That is exactly what Hubby and I did the next morning.

I am sharing this last photo because I think that it is way cool that I captured two reflections from these standing dead trees!

See the world around you!

Stay healthy! Stay safe!

Hubby and I recently took a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I took a whole lot of photos (editing and choosing what to post took some time), so this will be a picture heavy post. I am devoting this post to the animals.

Enjoy!
