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

Hi, Yellowstone & grand Tetons are truly amazing and we were so lucky to see plenty of wildlife and spectacular landscapes. (some photo's on various threads on TP). Old faithful is a great sight but there are bigger and better geysers in the area if you are prepared to walk a couple of miles. Hundreds of people at a time simply turn up to see Old faithful erupt then simply get back in their car/coach and drive off. A waste if you ask me but it leaves the rest of the area relatively people free.
