Grand Prismatic Spring
Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States, found in Yellowstone National Park. It is a giant pool of steaming water ringed with bright bands of orange, yellow, green, and blue.
It is famous for its rainbow colors that look like they were painted by nature itself. Photos from above show a huge deep-blue eye surrounded by fiery orange, making it one of the most stunning sights in the park.
The rainbow colors
The colors come from tiny living things called microbes that grow in rings around the spring. The center is deep blue and super hot, while the cooler edges glow orange and yellow.
Its giant size
The spring is wider than a football field, which is why it looks so amazing from high above. A hillside overlook trail gives families the best view of the whole colorful pool.
Staying safe
The water is boiling hot, so visitors must stay on the wooden boardwalks at all times. Following the rules keeps everyone safe while enjoying this colorful natural wonder.
