Mammoth Springs

We headed to Mammoth Hot Springs today to walk around the springs of course, hike the Beaver Pond Trail,  visit old Fort Yellowstone and then we drove a bit further up the road to a short hike to Wraith Falls.  A full day to say the least!!  Tonight I'm just going to show mostly pics of the springs as they were so beautiful.  Maybe I can fit in the other things on our next "day off";)


We saw several bison and elk today.  Got a wide eyed shot of this guy.
 Stopped for a quick pic of Gibbon Falls on the way to Mammoth Springs
Some beautiful scenery.....


 Arriving at Mammoth Springs.  In the foreground is a long dormant geyser cone
 The boardwalks helped us to get up close and personal with these beautiful formations!
