The Yellowstone Grand Canyon, formed over millions of years by the Yellowstone River, spans about 20 miles and plunges 1,000 feet deep. Artist Point, located on the south rim, offers a prime view of Yellowstone Falls and the canyon. The canyon is famous for its depth, the rush of the green river, and its vibrant, multicolored volcanic rocks. These rocks shimmer with hues of white, yellow, green, blue, and vermilion, making the canyon appear as if painted with oil colors. This stunning site, immortalized by painter Thomas Moran in 1872, features brilliantly colored rock walls that remain untouched by erosion.

Lamar Valley, located in the northeastern part of Yellowstone, is a lush, wildlife-rich area home to bison, grizzly bears, pronghorn antelope, and elk. Once a farm in the early 20th century, it's now a prime spot for gray wolf sightings in spring, early summer, and winter mornings. Visitors often describe the view where Roosevelt Tower meets the valley as "alluring upfront, majestic in the background," offering a unique experience for each observer.

Located in the northwest of Yellowstone, Mammoth Hot Springs is known for its unique limestone terraces, formed as hot springs dissolve calcium carbonate from the rock. The terraces display vibrant colors due to algae and microorganisms, with hues of yellow, white, and brown. As the world's largest known carbonate deposit hot spring, it originates from the Norris Geyser Basin, with temperatures reaching 77°C. However, a 2002 seismic event halted most spring activity, leading to the loss of vibrant colors and leaving the terraces coated in gray-white powder, a quiet reminder of their former beauty.
