Yellowstone - Mammoth Hot Springs

Return to Yellowstone Main Page

Mammoth Hot Springs is a massive complex of Calcareous Sinter Deposits and Hot Springs. No geyser activity occurs at Mammoth, since temperatures are lower than in the main geyser basins at Yellowstone. Mammoth has some of the largest Travertine Sinter Terraces in the world, tribute to the geological setting of these Hot Springs.
