Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States Aug 25, 2025

Today, we are in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. This spot, known as Calcite Springs Overlook, is where nature puts on a spectacular show—steaming vents, rugged cliffs and the ribbon of the river carving through the canyon tell stories millions of years in the making. This thermal-meets-canyon overlook offers front-row views of the Yellowstone River carving its way through a lava-forged canyon. Along the basalt cliffs, white mineral deposits that gave Calcite Springs its name are visible, formed by mineral-rich waters still steaming from underground. You might spot a bald eagle gliding overhead or bison lounging nearby. Yellowstone is more than just a park—it"s a supervolcano with a visitor centre.
