    Morning Glory Pool is a hot spring located in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. The crystal blue water in the spring is the result of ultra-purified water that has risen its way through the Earth. The yellowing edges of the pool are caused by bacteria that lives in the extremely hot 157.6°F (69.8°C) water. The spring has been measured to be 23 feet (7 m) deep.

      My favorite of the local thermal pools! Morning Glory is very beautiful to look at and captivates with its colorful splendor.
