Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Many people have seen lots of photos of Yellowstone National Park’s Grand Prismatic Spring, whether through travel blogs or videos. As one of the biggest hot springs worldwide, this gorgeous site shines with shades of green, red, blue, yellow, and even a bit of pink.
Its fiery colors result from microbial mats, or coatings of bacteria and other microbes, that create these various colors. Many people may wonder if they can go for a swim in the Grand Prismatic Spring with its popularity and stunning views.
But unfortunately, swimming isn’t an option due to its high temperatures and acidic content. The second-best option? Admiring this natural beauty and taking a ton of photos!
So even though this isn’t exactly one of the bluest waters in the world, it’s definitely worth adding to your bucket list.
