Palette Spring Texture

Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate. Because of the huge amount of geothermal vents, travertine flourishes.

Palette Spring is a natural hot spring located in the Mammoth region of Wyoming. This attraction offers visitors an opportunity to witness the mesmerizing interplay of colors created by the minerals in the spring’s water, which are a direct result of the geothermal activity in the area. The vibrant hues, ranging from deep blues to rich oranges, create a picturesque scene.

Morning. Telelens.
