I had heard a lot about Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone and seen some amazing photos of it before heading to the park. In reality, we actually didn’t get to see the incredible colors or get a great vantage point of this famous spot for a couple reasons. First, it was crazy crowded here when we arrived and with so many people, it really look away the “awe” of the location. Second, it was a really overcast afternoon and the steam was billowing off the surround pools in such huge clouds that we didn’t see much of the pool, along with the overcast sky making the pool have not as bright of colors as it would on a bright blue sky day. All in all, I found it way bigger than I was expecting and hard to photograph. If you want a really bright colored pool that’s smaller and quieter, Morning Glory is the place to be!

I would be so terrified to fall off of a walkway, never to be seen again. You hear so many horror stories…eek! It is truly gorgeous though.

Hahah totally! Actually not long after we were there, someone went off the path on purpose and fell into some of the hot springs and had significant burns from it.

Oh my gosh I’m with Emily, I’d be terrified haha, but it’s so beautiful! I love the one contrasting with the walkway!
