MONTANA HIGHLIGHTS & YELLOWSTONE GATEWAY WITH SCENIC TRANSITIONS

Journey Highlight

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK EXPLORATION – GEYSERS, HOT SPRINGS & CANYON FALLS

Journey Highlight

• Lower Geyser Fountain Paint Pots -The Fountain Paint Pots in this area is to the south of Norris District. A special place is the Fountain Paint Pot not far from the starting point of the trail. It is basically a mud fountain. The viscosity of the mud water is very high, and you can clearly see the shape of the bubbles slowly forming and disappearing.
  
• Midway Geyser Grand Prismatic Hot Springs -Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone’s largest hot spring, is 200-330 feet in diameter and more than 121 feet deep. Hot springs are the most common hydrothermal features in Yellowstone. Their plumbing has no constrictions. Superheated water cools as it reaches the surface, sinks, and is replaced by hotter water from below. This circulation prevents water from reaching the temperature needed to set off an eruption.
  
• Old Faithful -Old Faithful is the most famous, though not the highest, of all North American geysers. It was so named in 1870 by the Washburn-Langford Doane Expedition because it seemed to spout “faithfully” every 63 to 70 minutes. Continuous observation revealed, however, that the eruptions occurred with some irregularity, the intervals varying from 33 to 120 minutes.
• Artist’s Paint pots -The Artist's Paint Pots trail is so full of vibrant colors, comparable only to an artist's palette, it will be easy to see how they got their name. The short 1/3 mile trail begins at the parking lot just off the main road across from a wide-open meadow.
• Norris Geyser-One of Yellowstone National Park’s most popular geyser basins, Norris is home t Steamboat (the world’s tallest geyser). In addition, there are several miles of boardwalks from which you can explore dozens of multi-colored thermal features. Finally, elk and the occasional bison can sometimes be spotted in the area.
  
• Lower Fall/Upper Fall -The Upper and Lower Falls in Yellowstone are formed by the erosion of softer rocks by the waters of the Yellowstone River. The Canyon Falls area is located at the right end where the two circles intersect in the figure-eight-shaped road. The Yellowstone River, surging out of the Yellowstone Canyon, traverses the entire Yellowstone National Park.
  

DEEP IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK & MONTANA LAKES – HOT SPRINGS, WATERFALLS & SCENIC LAKESIDE VIEWS

Journey Highlight

• Mammoth Hot Springs -Mammoth Hot Springs are a must-see feature of Yellowstone National Park in part because they’re so different from other thermal areas in the area. This is largely because limestone is a relatively soft type of rock, allowing the travertine formations to grow much faster than other sinter formations. It has been described as looking like a cave turned inside out
• Tower Fall -Tower Falls is a waterfall located in the northeastern region of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA. Situated approximately 1,000 yards upstream from the confluence of Tower Creek and the Yellowstone River, the waterfall has a drop of 132 feet. Its name originates from the rocky pinnacle at the top of the falls.
• Flathead Lake -The largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States, known for its crystal-clear waters, scenic mountain views, charming lakeside towns, and excellent boating, fishing, and summer recreation.
