Mammoth Springs 6-9-2009


Yellowstone's hydrothermal springs are sheer beauty here at Mammoth Springs.
Mineral-laden hot water from deep beneath the Earth's crust finds it way to the
surface and builds tier upon tier of cascading, terraced stone.


Begun thousands of years ago, the sculpting of the terraces contines as thousands
of gallons of water well up and deposit large amounts of travertine daily.
