Smells like sulfur. we're on our last stop of the day we're
heading to a place called Mammoth and the Terraces. So here's a map of the
Mammoth hot springs terraces. There are trails all around and then
here's the terraces.
look at these trees just popping out of nowhere
so desolate hello we are at yellowstone america's first
national park and we have made it to the terraces
look at these trees just popping up out of nowhere
it looks like Namibia.
it almost looks like the texture of bones.
and then in the distance over there you can see a tiny speck of turquoise
going over there that's the pool.
and then you have these terrace spots right here where the water has collected.
look at these colors - pinks and blues and then it just runs right
over the edge. it's like steps natural steps.
the mammoth hot springs have been described as looking like an inside out
cave, or a frozen fountain.
This large complex of hot springs sits on a hill of travertine
it was created over thousands of years as hot water from a spring
cooled and deposited calcium carbonate.
it looks like somebody melted orange crayons into the river.
now this looks like a giant slip and slide.
look at that look at this
it's running down like a slip and slide! now it's time to hit the road to our
next attraction... we're in the general store and they have
a whole bunch of huckleberry treats and buffalo buffalo jerky.
there's deer right there in the center.
hello mr bison! he's taking a mud bath this is so cute
he's in this open meadow all by himself one moment we spot the bison peacefully
eating grass and the next moment we spot some strange
activity this is called "wallowing" or rolling in
the dirt. it's a common behavior that serves many
functions and helps them prevent insect bites. our next stop
we approach one of the most dramatic geological features of the park:
the yellowstone grand canyon.
we're at the canyon and take a look at this giant waterfall
you can hear it.
the canyon was formed 640 000 years ago from a volcanic eruption
the wind water and earthquakes continue to sculpt the canyon
the multi-hued orange brown and green rocks
of the canyon result from the hydrothermally altered rhyolite and
sediments.
taking videos and photos here look at this
what do you think BP? this is cool. these are great waterfalls.
Mike what did you think? The grand canyon! Of Yellowstone!
yellowstone we're gonna go see some waterfalls let's go. This national park
is incredible. it's just... there are canyons waterfalls
mountains, rivers, rapids, geysers, the geothermal activity.We saw bears,
bison, what else BP? elk and deer. look right there there's a staircase
that is the scariest staircase ever.
and then there's one pine on the ledge right there
so it says here that the rest colored parts are rhyolite
and the canyon is nearly 1200 feet deep. if you like these views as much as

oh we got bison mike what did you find so cool we found a herd of bison here on
grass wow this is incredible
we have a herd of bison here and they're just chilling
so peaceful here they're just roaming along waving their tails
he is so hungry
yellowstone is the only place in the lower 48 states to have continuously
free-ranging bison population since prehistoric
times they're the largest land-dwelling mammal in north america
males can weigh 2 000 pounds!
they move so slowly look how slow they move
their heads are buried in that meadow
they're so hungry. this has got to be one of the most surreal things.
They're just here just naturally and those are originals original bison.
and we have elk.
look at these elk look at their antlers. it's so green it looks like the 18th
hole is over there. he's right here go slow slow..
hey hey. okay we are now at the ocean - just
kidding. we are still in yellowstone we have
reached a beach! yellowstone
look with waves this is incredible mountains for days mountains for days
and an island in the middle of the beach an island not a boat in sight
bp what do you think of this beach this is cool i feel like i'm in the ocean in
the middle of yellowstone this is crazy.
mike's checking out the water now.
is it cold? It's cool, it's not cold. is just crazy it looks like someone
painted this like a dream a dream sequence yes it's like a fairy
tale
look at his funny his little fuzzy antlers.
yeah they fall off in the fall oh and they make those archways out of it.
as we make our way through the park, the landscape changes from
forests to lakes to meadows and we keep an eye out for more wildlife
elk are the most abundant large mammal found in yellowstone with an estimated
10 to 20 thousand.
off the side of the road we spot an entire family of elk
resting alongside the meadow.
there's a mom a dad and a baby.
oh look they're kissing
ah - kiss!
welcome to yellowstone national park
it's incredible
the baby's right behind her
a
we stop at yellowstone lake for a sunset view
this is the largest high elevation lake in north america
at an elevation of 7733
feet just driving through yellowstone is a
magical experience the park covers nearly 3 500 square
miles of wilderness and is home to more than half of the
world's geysers you never know what you'll find on the
side of the road or what mammals you will encounter
