Mammoth Hot Springs 9-11-13
It was almost evening by the time we made it to Mammoth Hot Springs at the Northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. The setting sun cast shadowed light across the terraces painting them in shades of pastel and white.
I was mesmerized by the formations as the hot water poured steaming over the edges, flowing ever downwards and into the earth.
Walking around Mammoth Hot Springs is like walking around a painter’s palette or a sculptor’s studio. Color and form is everywhere creating new panoramas or vignettes to capture your eye and hold your interest.
Of course, some of the terraces look like wedding cake!
There is so much to see at Mammoth Hot Springs and we only explored a very small corner of this place. Our time was so limited. It only made me want to come back again and stay longer.
I finally found a Black-billed Magpie in the park at Mammoth Hot Springs!

ReplyDeleteKathryn, it sure is and I never seem to have enough time to visit here!
DeleteYour images certainly make me want to go back to Yellowstone, but not in the winter.
ReplyDeleteGaelyn, you should go!
ReplyDeleteIt would certainly be worth the trip to see these frozen cascades! I did not realize it would be cold enough for freezing in September! Beautiful images.
