On the edge of the Grand Prismatic Spring
This is the Grand Prismatic Spring which is at the Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone. Unfortunately the rangers were discouraging using the trail that gets you above the spring, so we had to suffice with the walkways next to the spring. This, without doubt is the most gorgeous, colorful, and interesting spring in Yellowstone. The colors are due to the thermophile bacteria that live in the hot water. The spring is about 300 feet in diameter and the water is about 160 degrees Fahrenheit. I just loved the colors of the "arms" extending from the spring which providing water runoff from the spring.
