On July 30th, we visited the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park.

The walk to go see it was pretty short, and it was on a boardwalk above boiling water. We crossed a river, and then we walked for a bit over some hot, shallow water. I was surprised to learn that organisms actually live in that boiling heat. We saw a bunch of cool geysers on our way to the spring, and when we finally reached our destination, I was truly amazed. It was huge, way bigger than any hot spring I’d ever seen, and the totally awesome thing was that it was rainbow-colored! Each color of the rainbow was where a different organism lived in the water, and that’s what made the different colors. Isn’t that cool?! We stood and admired the spring for quite a long time, and we took LOTS of pictures. Finally, we took a last look at it, and then we walked back to the RV. The Grand Prismatic Spring really was grand! 😉
