More about Mammoth Hot Springs
The terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs are created as hot water from the Norris Geyser Basin flows over limestone, dissolving calcium carbonate and depositing it to form travertine. The site is accessible year-round and has a network of boardwalks that allow visitors to explore the formations. The springs' activity and formation patterns can change rapidly, influenced by geothermal activity.
