“Interesting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

When visiting YNP, this is a must see but I have to admit, not my favorite. It smells...and it smells badly. Just be prepared for that but also be prepared to be astonished by the sites there! More

There is an unbelievable shelf that has been built up over eons of time, made up of the lime deposits from the water. The water is hot and continues to cascade over the built... More

“just amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 28, 2012

Mammoth Hot Springs is so amazing - it's one of my favorite attractions in Yellowstone. It's photogenic and picture-worthy, even when the pools are mostly dry (as they were on this visit.) I wish everyone had the opportunity to visit Yellowstone. When they get it, if they are only going to see part of the park, I hope they see... More

“Great Thermal/geochemical spot”

Mammoth Hot Springs area is the first attraction that one encounters when entering from the north entrance of YNP. This is indeed a great area to observe the natural geothermal activity. Its wonderful to see the various colors of the different small hillocks formed due to the natural chemical reactions. While its a great place, I feel that the YNP... More
