More Than 10,000 Hydrothermal Natural Wonders Grace The Wyoming Landscape In Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park's geothermal features have been impressing visitors since the dawn of time. It's easy to see why when you look around – steam rising from cracks in the earth, terraces of travertine that stretch as far as the eye can see, and beautiful bright hot springs that truly look like paintings are just some of what you'll find here in the park! No wonder so many of us are quick to let you know that Yellowstone is the best national park to visit in Wyoming and in America overall.

This wonderland features eight geyser basins in the main, accessible part of the park – and several backcountry basins that take a little bit of effort to see! It's no surprise to anyone that exploring Yellowstone is one of the best things to do outside in Wyoming!

If you've never visited the park, you'll be amazed at how it seems like the Earth is on fire, steaming, and rumbling just about everywhere you look.

The terraces of Mammouth Hot Springs are sure to mesmerize you – the variety of colors and unique formations are created by the minerals left behind when the hot water evaporates.

The Artists' Paint Pots are unique hot pots that look like a painter's palette, and the trail that takes you around them is one of the best in the park and one of the best hiking trails in Wyoming.

The Upper Geyser Basin features five predictable, reliable geysers, so it's the best place to go if you want to see an eruption. Of course, Old Faithful will go off while you're here, but you'll also want to check out Castle Geyser, Grand Geyser, Daisy Geyser, and Riverside Geyser.

If you're lucky, you'll get to see a more rare geyser go off! Pictured is Beehive Geyser, which has been known to offer an eruption period more recently, usually every 11-20 hours.

Grand Prismatic is the largest thermal feature in Yellowstone, and its gorgeous colors make it one of the most popular attractions.

This enormous hot spring is known to be one of the windiest areas of the park, too, so hold on to your hat as you walk along the boardwalk!
