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! |
