Yellowstone Park is a geothermal state formed after the eruption of volcanoes, with mud springs, steam springs, eruptions, and colorful hot springs formed by mineral deposits rich in geothermal springs, famous for intermittent 94 minutes of large fountains, morning flower springs, etc., as well as a landscape and a Yadan landscape.

    It is also a relatively unique geological and geomorphological park. I have to say that when traveling abroad, there are many national parks with vast land and few people. You can freely enjoy close contact with nature. Several geological lakes in the park are still worth seeing. It is worth a visit.

    Mammoth Hot Springs is famous for stacking limestone steps, similar to "terraces", formed by cooling the surface of calcium carbonate after high-temperature groundwater dissolves. The metabolic activities of algae and thermophilic bacteria have given the steps brown, orange, red, green and other colorful colors, such as "colorful ladders". The core area has a dense plank road system, which can be seen up close **color palette spring ** (Palette Springs), **Canary spring ** (Canary Spring), etc. The landscape here is often analogized to "Sichuan Huanglong", and the traces of the spring water flowing along the ladder are clearly visible.

    Grand Prismatic Spring is one of the most famous hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Grand Prismatic Spring is the masterpiece of Yellowstone, just like the Welcoming Pine of Huangshan. People may not have been to Huangshan, but you must have seen the image of the Welcoming Pine; similarly, people may not have been to Yellowstone, but the panoramic view of Grand Prismatic Spring must appear on the top list of American tourism. The colorful Grand Prismatic Spring, with a diameter of about 100 meters, is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is nearly 50 meters deep, with a water temperature of up to 85℃, and about 2,000 liters of spring water gush out every minute. In the sky with clear rain, it looks even more steaming. The angle that pedestrians can see is a side plane, not the aerial panorama seen in major brochures. But even if you only peek at a corner, you can already feel its imposing momentum. There is a feeling that you don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain. There is also a kind of, generally the scenery of the great god level will not be easily seen by people. During the whole day's tour, it rained in the few minutes we stayed here. The weather at this time was windy and rainy, making people feel like they were in the embrace of nature, and their hearts were free and unrestrained with the clouds in the sky and the rain in the wind. I have always believed that all encounters on the journey are fate. Enjoy the all-round experience of the wind, rain and heat between heaven and earth. This place is a classic! The following paragraph was heard on the Internet: "The beauty of the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. In spring, the lake changes from green to brilliant orange-red. This is because the algae and pigment-containing bacteria and other microorganisms living in the mineral-rich water body have a ratio of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their bodies that changes with the seasons, so the water body also presents different colors." Therefore, in the summer when we arrived, the chlorophyll content here is relatively low, showing orange, red, or yellow. But I heard that in winter, due to the lack of light, these microorganisms will produce more chlorophyll to suppress the color of carotenoids, so the water body will appear dark green. Compared with the Grand Prism, there are three small hot springs around it. Although they are not as majestic as the Grand Prism, they are still exquisite and beautiful.

    Old Faithful Geyser is the most famous sight in Yellowstone Park in the United States. The most famous geyser in Yellowstone is Old Faithful. It does not erupt irregularly like other geysers. It erupts every few dozen minutes and never disappoints tourists. Its unfailing fidelity has endeared it to the world. The Old Faithful fountain sprays out every 56 minutes, each time lasting about 4 minutes. The highest and most beautiful spray is in the first 20 seconds. Each time it sprays a total of about 10,000 gallons of hot water, with a height of 40-50 meters, and the water temperature is Celsius 93 degrees. Through winter and summer, the Old Faithful Fountain keeps spraying according to a certain pattern, earning it the reputation of "Old Faithful". When people come to Yellowstone Park, they must take a look at Old Faithful Fountain. But when you see it not spraying, it is like a galloping horse. When the sun shines, the water vapor flashes out in colorful colors, which is so spectacular that no one can help but sigh in admiration.

    Norris Geyser Basin is a unique landscape in Yellowstone National Park. From a distance, it looks like a bizarre ancient battlefield, with hot mist floating and dispersing on the white and gray rock surface, and bare dead trees lying and standing. From a close look, it looks like a colorful palette, with green, orange, and purple colors in the water, competing for beauty.

    The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is located in Yellowstone National Park, USA, and ranks first among the 90 tourist attractions in Yellowstone National Park. The river water flowing out of the Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone Park, USA, flows through a gentle hilly area and enters a steep canyon about 38 kilometers long, which is called the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. This is one of the most magnificent and beautiful scenery in Yellowstone Park. Here, the turbulent river water splashes and forms two magnificent waterfalls, roaring into the valley bottom. The first waterfall is 33 meters high, which is the upper waterfall, and the second is 92 meters high, called the lower waterfall. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is located between the Fishing Bridge and the Tower. The river water flowing out of the Yellowstone Lake flows through a steep canyon of about 38 kilometers, which is generally called the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. This is the most magnificent and beautiful scenery in Yellowstone Park. The 97-kilometer-long Yellowstone River is "the only river without a dam in the United States." Here, the river water suddenly becomes fast, breaking through the splashing water, forming two magnificent waterfalls, roaring into the Grand Canyon.

    Yellowstone Lake is located in Yellowstone Park. The lake is not small in size and the water is clear, but it is very hot. There are many small hot springs and small pits in the lake. Some national or local kayakers are training and greeted us when they passed by. Compared with other more famous attractions in Yellowstone Park, the characteristics here are not so prominent.

    West Thumb Geyser Basin, located in the bay west of Yellowstone Lake, is the first scenic spot known to the public in the Yellowstone area. Many types of hot springs are the characteristics of West Thumb. The colors of the hot spring mouths are azure blue, emerald green, milky white, dark gray ~ unique and dazzling.

    A smaller scenic spot in Yellowstone National Park - the Mud Volcano Scenic Spot. This is also the last hot spring area I will introduce. I will introduce the canyons, waterfalls, grasslands, wildlife and other scenery of Yellowstone Park in the future. The Mud Volcano Scenic Spot is located in the north of Yellowstone Lake and is the only geothermal scenic spot in the eastern part of the park (the West Thumb Geyser Scenic Spot is counted in the south). Although it is not large, it is very distinctive: most of the springs here are mud springs (mud volcanoes, steam boiler Caldron), and there are almost no colored fountains. I think the most distinctive attractions are the "Black's Caldron" and the "Dragon Mouth Spring".
