ギャラティン山脈のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

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.

Nice view onto Mammoth from Elk Plaza Service Road. The ascent up to this point is not too strenuous, so it is worth the effort for the wonderful view.

This area is famous for its series of ponds created by beavers, showing off their amazing engineering skills. While seeing a beaver can be tricky as they are often out at dawn or dusk, you'll definitely see their dams and lodges.

Famous for its amazing terraces made of rock. Hot water from underground rises to the surface, bringing minerals with it. As the water cools, these minerals, mostly calcium carbonate, are left behind, building up over thousands of years into unique, stair-like formations.

One of the many highlights in Yellowstone NP. A must-see.

These are easy hikes, some are accessible for handicapped persons and wheelchairs, but not all. Make sure you take the time to hike down the boardwalk to see the Canary Spring side (you can see from my photos, the lovely terraces that you can see close up).

Easily accessible and beautiful Crescent Lake is a great spot to ride if you're limited on time.
