The spectacular travertine terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs |
Next to Old Faithful, I would think the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs are the second most recognizable feature at Yellowstone. These spectacular travertine terraces are ever changing, as they are formed by super-heated water which dissolves underground limestone that forms interlaced pools on the surface, one on top of another. Aren't they wonderful? |
