Grand Prismatic Spring from above, Yellowstone

Yesterday, I visited the most beautiful thermal feature in Yellowstone and was amazed at the vibrant colors of the spring. Today I decided to get above most of the tree line to see what it looks like from above. I walked down a 1 mile trail that takes you behind the spring and then huffed my way up a very steep hill. At the top of the hill, I was rewarded with the most amazing view of this gigantic spring. It was well worth the difficult climb! Notice the little people on the boardwalk on the far side of the spring!
