Mammoth Hot Springs Loop

Starting near the Albright Visitor Center in Yellowstone National Park, this loop follows Grand Loop Road toward Palette Spring, where steaming runoff, warm mineral colors and open views introduce the Mammoth Hot Springs landscape.

The route then crosses the Mammoth Terraces through Jupiter Terrace, Mound Terrace, Cleopatra Terrace and Main Terrace, revealing pale travertine shelves, sculpted limestone steps and shifting thermal activity across the hillside.

After continuing toward New Blue Spring, Cupid Spring, Dryad Spring and Canary Spring, the walk returns toward the Mammoth area and makes a final detour to Minerva Terrace before finishing back near the Albright Visitor Center.
