Hiking

The Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces are a stunning collection of cascading limestone formations created by thermal water flowing over the landscape. Their colors and constantly changing shapes make them one of Yellowstone’s most unique geothermal features.

Hiking

Wooden walkways guide visitors through the fascinating, ever-changing geothermal area. Hot, lime- and mineral-rich water bubbles to the surface and, as it flows down the slopes, deposits lime and minerals, creating the distinctive, constantly growing terraces in various colors.
