Liberty Cap

Highlight • Natural Monument

This ancient rock formation is the remnants of a now extinct thermal vent. The tower of limestone stands at 40 feet tall and is only a short walk from the parking lot.

Tip by

65 m

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.

Mound Spring & Jupiter Terrace

Highlight • Natural Monument

These are not like gushing geysers, but rather constantly changing formations made by hot, mineral-rich water. Jupiter Terrace used to flow a lot, even covering parts of the boardwalk. Mound Terrace was quiet for many years but has recently started flowing again, creating new patterns on the rock.

Gorgeous Canary Spring, one of my favorite spots on the Mammoth Hot Springs area of Yellowstone National Park. Some steps are involved with the boardwalk. Enjoy and make sure you bring a good camera!

Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Mammoth Hot Springs are a collection of geothermal vents and springs that empty onto the hills surrounding the city of Mammoth. The mineral rich spring water leaves behind beautiful marble white structures called terraces, which look like staircases.
