Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of springs created over thousands of years. Hot water from the springs cooled and deposited calcium carbonate, leaving behind dramatic.
Not far from Mammoth Village is a total surprise and a Yellowstone must do! I know you’re dreaming of slipping into a hot spring after seeing so many of them in Yellowstone. But remember they are dangerous.
I loved driving through Hayden Valley each day as we explored the park from our campsite near Yellowstone Lake. I never grew tired of those rolling green hills, with the Yellowstone river.
The Yellowstone River runs through here, plunging 109 feet at the Upper Falls and then another 308 feet at the spectacular Lower Falls down into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
