Blood Geyser is a high concentration of iron oxide in the water, staining the surrounding rocks a rich red.  It has been busily erupting since 1882.  The geyser can erupt up to 6 feet and discharge 150 gallons a minute!

As one early visitor described the Mammoth Hot Springs, "No human architect ever designed such intricate fountains as these.

The water trickles over the edges from one to another, blending them together with the effect of a frozen waterfall.

Mammoth Hot Springs are a surface expression of the deep magmatic forces at work in Yellowstone.

Crazy Creek Falls is on of the most uniquely named wild waterfalls along the Beartooth Highway. The name Crazy Creek is attributed to two theories – one is a fact and the other a legend. The fact – the creek creates a crazy zigzag pattern as it flows down the mountainside. The legend – an Indian woman living in the Clark’s Fork Valley went crazy and ran into the mountains. Her body was found later by members of her tribe along this creek. They named the creek “crazy”.

This 68 mile byway winds its way through southwest Montana and northwest Wyoming and leads into Yellowstone National Park at its Northeast Entrance.

Boasting more than 10,000 high mountain lakes, crystal clear high mountain rivers and streams, and the headwaters of the only wild and scenic river in Wyoming, water doesn’t get any wilder.
