Yellow Stone | Mammoth Hot Spring

| Mammoth Hot Spring. Mammoth Hot Spring, this spot is on the northwest side of Yellowstone Park, a certain distance from other famous attractions, but it is also one of the must-see attractions. The order of play varies according to the parking position. If you park at the lower terrace, you can be 1⃣Palette Spring and Terraces 2⃣Mount & Jupiter Terrance 3⃣Canary Spring (I didn't find this one when I was making the guide, highly recommended, you have to walk to the end to be the most beautiful) If you have time, you can also include this in the last part of the journey, and adjust the order according to the actual situation. So far, we have seen all the attractions we want to play in Yellowstone, and the remaining half day is driving to Salt Lake City. Along the way, we saw many unexpected sceneries. There are deer, black bears, cows everywhere, birds on the cows to remove bugs for them, accidentally found rainbows, some springs stink to death, jokingly have the smell of pig stomach chicken soup. Seeing the super beautiful pale yellow sunrise and the sunset that can sit for a long time. After watching Yellowstone Park for two days, you may feel that many sceneries are not much different. The cows and calves or various springs seen on the first day will not feel so rare after seeing a lot. But nature is indeed beautiful. I hope everyone will enjoy more when traveling. Best wishes~

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.
