After passing this bison, it is the granary. Today, the blue sky and the white snow-white peaks make this dilapidated small granary particularly sexy. As soon as the clouds fall off the car, they take crazy photos. ●⌒

During the photo, I felt a gust of wind in the soles of my feet, and a huge gopher crawled into the hole beside Yunluo's feet. Yunluo then looked carefully and found that there were so many gopher holes around. Yunluo, who had thought the gopher was very cute, now he felt that this kind of rat is disgusting. It was obviously an enlarged version of the house rat, and it was nothing cute in terms of body shape or appearance.

Fortunately, Yunluo had taken some more satisfactory photos before seeing the gophers, otherwise these fat mice would ruin Yunluo's interest in taking photos.

The trip to Da Teton made Yunluo fully feel why many people say that this is an underrated national park. Its clearness, beauty, unrestrainedness, and colorfulness cannot be fully appreciated in one day.

But because Huangshi is so famous, most tourists have no special expectations for this small big Teton, and plain and simple sightseeing has become a more popular way to visit Da Teton. If you recommend friends to visit these national parks in the United States in the future, Yunluo will definitely recommend Da Teton.

It is only twenty or thirty miles from Datteton to Huangshi, but the scenery between the two places is 108,000 miles apart. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu entered the south gate of Huangshi from Datteton, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, but because it was dark, Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu didn't want to waste the last few hours of sunshine.

The road in Huangshi Park is in the shape of "8". Since the hotel where Yunluo and Yan Chenyu stayed is outside the West Gate exit, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu decided to play the lower left part of the shape of "8". This small area on the lower left gathers several more famous attractions in Huangshi, the most famous of which are the Old Faithful Geyser and the Great Prism Hot Spring.

Yellowstone Park is not only a park for viewing scenery, but also a geological park. There are more than a thousand hot springs in the park, accounting for more than half of all hot springs in the world. Among them, the old faithful intermittent hot spring is the most famous. It erupts every few dozen minutes, and each eruption lasts about one or two minutes.

There is a big clock in the souvenir shop next to the hot spring. The pointer on the clock points to the next predicted eruption time, with an error of about ten minutes. Lao Zhongshi will have a lot of preliminary activities before the eruption, and the spring water gushes up from the ground little by little. It is higher and higher each time, and is eager to prepare for the final eruption.

When the eruption was made, a water column instantly rushed to the sky. The height of the water column was about three or four floors high. The tourists watching the spring around us welcomed the explosion of the water column again and again in cheers. The crowds of people surrounded him seemed to be watching a wonderful circus performance.

The reason why Yellowstone has so many geothermal and hot springs is because it is a huge active volcano itself, and Yellowstone Park is the crater of this volcano. The movie "2012" also said that if the Yellowstone volcano fully erupts, it can destroy most of the United States, so Yellowstone volcano is called a "super volcano".

In Yellowstone, the heat that can be seen everywhere rises from the cracks of the ground, and the hot springs that can be seen everywhere gushing on the ground. Even the small stones are blisters that are about to emerge. Coupled with the smell of sulfur, the land of Yellowstone gives people the impression that it is not romance, but the fear in spectacle and the cringe in surprise.

Just imagine that you are walking leisurely at a huge crater, and you have no idea what clouds and Yan Chenyu are brewing under your feet.

The old loyal hot springs are surrounded by patches of hot springs. Various hot springs are actually similar. Each group of hot springs has a built-in plank road for tourists to visit. There are some introductory words placed on the plank road. Through these words, Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu can see that these hot springs are changing at any time.

There are thousands of earthquakes in Huangshi every year. One tremor of all sizes can cause changes in the surface. A little bit of displacement on the surface can produce some new hot springs or cover the original bubbles.

What impressed Yun Luo the most was the stinky smell of sulfur from these springs. Sometimes the hot smell from a gust of wind caught Yun Luo off guard. He even took a few photos and wanted to return to the car as soon as possible. Although traveling in this environment is spectacular, it is terrifying. In addition, the dark clouds in the sky in Huangshi in the afternoon, the whole scene is like the end of the world.

Yun Luo's mind was filled with strange ideas about the lake and mountains that were the same as the Yellowstone in the morning, which was a world of difference!

In Yunluo's view, the beauty of Yellowstone lies in its color. Its color is most vividly expressed in the Great Prism Hot Spring. The Great Prism Hot Spring is not a fountain, but a pond of hot springs like a mirror.

It has always been a landmark in Yellowstone and has appeared widely on the covers of various brochures introducing Yellowstone. Although it and the hot spring pools around it are also emitting a foul smell, and although the humid and hot air does not bring Yunluo and Yan Chenyu a pleasure to travel, its color makes Yunluo stunned.

Because of minerals, various bacteria can grow wildly on this land and form different colors. Yellow is the most prominent among the colors, but when you walk in, you can find any color. Yunluo has never seen a pool of water that can be surrounded by such bright colors. It is really like a large mirror bordered by gold.

Although the Great Prism is spectacular, you can't see the full picture when walking on the plank road. Yun Luo found a small hill opposite the Great Prism, and it didn't seem difficult to climb up, so he secretly crossed the road and prepared to climb.

After climbing over a few big stones, I found footprints of people on the ground. I walked a few steps forward and saw a small path appear. It seems that many tourists have come to see the panoramic view of the Great Prism, which strengthens Yun Luo's confidence in climbing to the top of the mountain. The mountain is not high, and it can be conquered in fifteen minutes. Only at the top of the mountain Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu truly saw the full picture of the Great Prism.

This huge mirror lies in the middle of a deep green forest, as if someone deliberately placed it here. From the top of the mountain, you can also appreciate the colorfulness of the large prism - the emerald green lake surface is accompanied by brilliant gold edges, and it is like polished agate, which still shines brightly in this hazy weather.

Old loyalty and the Great Prism gave Yun Luo a preliminary impression of Huangshi. Of course, the scenery of Huangshi will definitely not be limited to springs. In the next few days, we will explore the uniqueness of this world's first national park.

It still didn't rain in the evening when the black clouds were pressing. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu were ready to have a good rest tonight, so they didn't go camping anymore. They booked a small hotel seventy miles outside the west gate of Huangshi and rushed to check in under the night.

I had a good sleep in the hotel last night, making up for the lack of sleep during camping. I felt as energetic as I was fully charged in the morning, and I was ready to continue exploring the mystery of Yellowstone.

Starting from the place that ended yesterday, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu continued to visit the 8-shaped figure of Huangshi. Today, they plan to complete the 8-shaped circle above the 8-shaped circle, and stay in the camping area in the right and right center of the 8-shaped figure at night. After today, even if most of the scenic spots in Huangshi have been viewed, they will also complete the last camping in the itinerary.

The weather forecast says that there are thunderstorms in Huangshi these days, with a probability of precipitation of 40%. I hope that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu will be at the remaining 60% miles when traveling.

The nearest attraction to Ximen is called the Norris Geyser Area, but Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were stopped by the administrator before entering the parking lot. It was said that it was already overcrowded. In order to control the flow of people, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could not be allowed to enter. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could only put this scenic spot to the end.

From the map, there are not many attractions in the area above the 8-shaped shape, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu have a good time today. Another more famous attraction in the northwest part of Huangshi is called Mammoth Hot Spring. When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu arrived there, they were crowded, so it was very troublesome to find a parking space.

This area is not only the location of the scenic spots, but also a service center with various shops and small hotels. It is not unusual to have many people at all. What impressed Yunluo after coming to Huangshi is that there are too many tourists in China. The Chinese faces with various local accents sometimes make Yunluo feel like he is traveling in China.

The Mammoth Hot Spring is actually an area where hot springs are gathered. The largest and most spectacular among these hot springs is a terraced white spring.

The limestone fault zone underground in Yellowstone makes the hot springs ejected here rich in calcium carbonate. The spring water gushed year after year and precipitated a thick white gypsum-like calcium carbonate layer. Later, with multiple earthquakes, the hot spring often changed its gushing position, so these calcium layers were formed in different places.

These calcium layers slowly formed a terraced shape through various effects such as accumulation. The calcium carbonate is not completely white, and the bacteria on it have more or less colored these terraced fields, which does not look monotonous. Although it is a little different from those geysers yesterday, the dead black wood standing beside the Mamma Elephant Spring also makes this area look gloomy.

I have always heard that Yellowstone is a good place to see wild animals, but I have been here for almost two days and haven't seen a large animal. From the travel guide posted by someone else, I learned that the Lamar Canyon area in the northeast of Yellowstone is the habitat of North American bison, so after leaving the Mamma Elephant Hot Spring, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went straight to the canyon.

This canyon is not a deep valley with cliffs on both sides, but a small plain walking along the stream. The mountains on both sides are not high and far away from the river water. It is far different from the "canyon" that Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu look all the way. Plains and river water are paradises suitable for animals to live in. It is said that North American bisons have lived here for hundreds of years for generations.
