In Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, one of the most vibrant and enticing spectacles, Grand Prismatic, attracts millions to its out-of-this-world features. This natural hot spring, the third largest in the world, is 370 feet in diameter, 121 feet deep, and stretches to a deep crack in the earth. The spring emits almost alien looking, bright colors, including vivacious blue, green, yellow hues that dance and dazzle all who enjoy this unbelievable commodity. Such variance is caused by a species of thermophilic bacteria, which result in deep and rich tones. Those in the presence of this great sensation will be awestruck that it is located in the great United States.
