Yellowstone - North Loop - Day 2

The Sheepeater Cliffs are a series of exposed cliffs made up of columnar basalt in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The lava was deposited about 500,000 years ago during one of the periodic basaltic floods in Yellowstone Caldera, and later exposed by theGardner River.









The Boiling River is created where a large hot spring enters the Gardner River, allowing the hot and cool waters to mix into a temperature comfortable enough to bathe in. The natural hot tub makes a great place to stop and relax while soaking in the warm water and soaking up the natural beauty of Yellowstone.






Mud Volcano is a bubbling spring of mud created from a high acidity area of nearly pH 1.2. Moisture in the ground determines how quickly the mud bubbles up and how many bubbles there are.
