If you’re going on one of our Yellowstone tours, be sure to visit Mammoth Hot Springs. Unlike many other hot springs locations in the U.S., Mammoth is a site you absolutely don’t want to miss!

The main attractions at Mammoth are the terraces. They’ve been there for thousands of years but, like glaciers, they’re constantly changing. They consist of Travertine – formed by a combination of heat, water, limestone and joints or veins in rock – which is constantly being created to form new shapes that force the water to go in different directions.

As a bit of an outdoorsman, one of my absolute favorite places to visit on a tour is Yellowstone National Park. The park itself extends in to portions of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, and is the first national park to have been established in the United States.

In addition to hundreds of types of wildlife and a huge variety of plantlife, Yellowstone is also home to one of the largest active volcanos in North America! One quick look at all of the geysers and hot springs found in the area is a clear indication of the active nature of the Yellowstone National Park. Millions have the adventure of a lifetime each year on Yellowstone Tours, and there are an almost endless number of sites to see.
