Canary Spring is part of the lower terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. This is the lower part of the spring which runs down a massive wall of old deposits.

This is Canary Spring, part of the lower terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. It is a very active geothermal area and worth the short walk required to see it at its best.

This is the top of Canary Spring in the main terraces area of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. It had become much higher since we last saw it a year and half ago and continues to be one of the most active areas in the terraces.

This is a close-up shot of Canary Spring, one of the most active and beautiful areas of the terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.

Canary Spring is one of the most areas at Mammoth Hot Springs at present. It is on the south end of the main terraces and had grown considerably since last we saw it. Mammoth Hot Springs is one of the most scenic areas of Yellowstone National Park and is near the north entrance to the park.

Here is the view back over the main terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs from the trail to Canary Spring.

These dead trees, killed by the hot water of the hot springs at Mammoth, are near Canary Spring on the south end of the Main Terraces.

For the past number of years Canary Spring has been one of the most active areas in the Main Terraces. It is on the south end of the Main Terraces and a short walk is required to see it at its best. This is the top of Canary Spring.

This is another shot of Canary Spring (see previous photo) but this of the front of the spring. It is obvious from the photo, too, why these are called "terraces". Canary Spring is on the south end of the Lower Terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.

Canary Spring is on the main part of the Lower Terraces of the Mammoth Hot Springs area in Yellowstone National Park. It is one of the more active parts of the Lower Terraces and can be seen both from below and from the west side. This was taken from the boardwalk on the west side and looks over the top of the spring and across the valley.

One more shot of Canary Spring showing some of the detail including the newly deposited terraces, the hot water lying in the top of them with the bone white of new deposits, the gray of an area that has gone dead and the colors of the algae that grow in the hot water.

Canary Spring is one of the few active areas at Mammoth Hot Springs. Mammoth is in the north part of Yellowstone National Park and is famous for its terraces. The photo shows something of the size of these terraces and looks across Canary Spring down into the valley below.

Canary Spring is one of the few areas that are active at present at Mammoth Hot Springs In Yellowstone National park. The photo shows where the spring originates. From there is runs down the south side of the terraces.

Canary Spring is at Mammoth Terraces on the north end of Yellowstone National Park. It is one of the few areas of the terraces that is active at present. The terraces are formed by hot water seeping up through limestone and depositing the dissolved limestone as terraces. The terraces are bone white or gray when inactive, but when active are colored by algae that live in the hot water. I've posted this picture because we were in Yellowstone briefly last week, but I have not had time to look at the pictures we took. In fact, I have not even downloaded them from the camera.

This is another photo taken in the Mammoth Hot Springs area of Yellowstone National Park. These springs which have been active for many years are the far southern end of the Upper Terraces. The spring are the result of hot water seeping up through the ground and dissolving and redepositing the limestone bedrock. The colors of the springs are the colors of algae which grow in the hot water. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/10/yellowstone...
