ワイオミングでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Hiking trails lead along the north and south sides of the canyon, offering frequent views of the waterfalls.

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.

Truly wild and a natural spectacle

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.

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.

The Morning Glory Pool is a hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone

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.

This 110-foot waterfall is only small in comparison to the lower falls, which are almost 330 feet high. Needless to say the upper falls are still magnificent, and the interesting colors in the canyon walls are the result of this region's constant hydrothermal activity.
