Continue the immense experience of Yellowstone National Park today first by a visit to the Mammoth Hot Springs. Walk on boardwalks above the steaming hydrothermal features and have an up close and personal view of this unique feature.

Mammoth Hot Springs are a must-see feature of Yellowstone National Park in part because they’re so different from other thermal areas in the area. This is largely because limestone is a relatively soft type of rock, allowing the travertine formations to grow much faster than other sinter formations. It has been described as looking like a cave turned inside out.

Then, visit the Yellow Stone’s famous Old Faithful Geyser. Each eruption can vary in height from 100-180 feet with an average near 130-140 feet. This has been the historical range of its recorded height and normally last between 1.5 to 5 minutes.

To finish the day with a bang! You will visit the Midway geyser basin, where you will see one of the most photographed feature in Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Prismatic Spring. The hot spring has bright bands of orange, yellow, and green ring the deep blue waters in the spring. The multicolored layers get their hues from different species of thermophile (heat-loving) bacteria living in the progressively cooler water around the spring.
