Yellowstone National Park: Grand Prismatic Spring

Grand Prismatic Spring.

Yellowstone's largest hot spring, 370' in diameter.

The deep blue of the pool and the rings of yellow and orange thermophiles surrounding the pool, plus the run-off slopes made this the stand out attraction for all of us.

The second visit, Fred and Craig climbed the hill behind the spring - no trail, a scramble straight  up and down, thin air of the high altitude and Fred came back with these incredible photos.

Shawni helped me up to a point on the same hill, despite the dust and all the mosquitoes biting us, what an amazing view. What a place. Love at first sight.

Hectic climb straight up the hill, but certainly worth the view!
