Stairs dyed with the colors of life: Impressions of a walk in Canary Spring

#7月好去处2025 Walking to Canary Spring in the Mammoth Hot Springs area, I was attracted by the stacked lime steps at first sight: white as the base, with light yellow, orange-red and even a little green on the edges, like paint scattered by nature. The spring water flows slowly, carrying heat and minerals, shaping this flowing sculpture on the surface. Compared with other spectacular geothermal landscapes in Yellowstone, Canary Spring gives me a softer and more delicate feeling. There is no violent eruption or thrilling sound, but because of this, I can appreciate its texture and color more carefully. The hot spring water flows over the edge of the steps, leaving a luster and making the colors more vivid. What impressed me most is that this lime terrace is a work of art created by time and nature. Every flow is quietly changing its appearance; what I see today may be different in a few years. For me, Canary Spring is not only a geothermal wonder, but also one of the most poetic and quiet landscapes in Yellowstone Park.
