For some reason I thought this was going to be a large spring fed swimming pool, heated by nature. I was wrong. I am not sure how to describe it other than just to say it was beautiful in a barren like way.
They say that Mammoth was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate on the ground creating the terraces. You can find more information on the Yellowstone National Park Service website. When you have some free time take a look, they have some great information and wonderful photos.
