Like the rest of the park a place to visit without doubt. The colours emerging from the waters are unique and incredibly seen insects and bacterias living in their waters.

This place was so cool. I went here on a trip over the summer and we saw so many cool things. the only thing that could've been better was the roads, there were too many people stopping to get out of their car to take pictures of Buffalo. All in all it was a really fun trip and I would definitely go again.

Yellowstone National Park is a destination for everyone with a number of freshwater crystal clear rivers and waterfalls, the Yellowstone Canyon and lakes, numerous geysers including the Grand Old Faithful and sulphuric waterpools and cascades. All the wildlife from bears, bison, wolves, coyote, moose and deer, bald eagles and more, there is plenty of accommodation for all budgets and the hotels are mostly old style log construction and magnificent design, we stayed on the west edge of the park in a small town with everything you need from a range of food eatery’s, clothing and souvenirs and more. The main road trip in the park is a figure eight and you need at least two days to get around maybe more when its busy, just nearby is Jackson Hole town south of the park next to the Grand Teton National Park all in Wyoming, USA. Jackson Hole is a country western style town with old fashioned wooden sidewalks and rails, old style buildings and a park in the central area, you can take a ride in a horse drawn carriage and in winter just west of town is a ski resort. I could keep writing about this amazing area but I really think that you need to get yourself there and see it in real life, you will not be disappointed especially when you add the Grand Teton National Park which is joined to the Yellowstone National Park, trust me you will see one of the best wonders of the world.

The beauty of destruction!! Volcano underneath us and we are enjoying it!! Really cool place to visit. Amazing place. Natural beauty. To get the best view, one need to walk around .7 miles. The temperature is little bit hotter near the water.
