Mammoth Hot Springs,
Yellowstone Park

It was first known as Colters Hell, because of the stories that mountain
man John Colter told about this region of our country. He told about
steam rising from the ground and bubbling mud springs and water so hot
that you could boil eggs in it. He once told a story about when he was
being chased by Indians. He dove into a beaver pond and came up into the
beavers' lodge and hid there until the Indians went away. John Colter was
the first explorer to pass through the area we now know as Yellowstone Park.
Located in the North Western part of Wyoming, just north
of Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone also is one of the most visited parks in the U.S. Even with the great expanse of land it covers, it can quickly become a parking lot when an animal shows up alongside the roadway. I once heard a world renowned wildlife photographer say that Yellowstone had everything a photographer would ever want. Bison, elk, moose, grizzly bear, wolf, coyote and the list goes on and on. I would return to Yellowstone yearly if time and distance were not an enemy.
