Here at Mammoth Hot Springs, water doesn’t erupt like in the geyser basins but flows, gently from cracks. Hot water dissolves the underlying limestone and deposits it on the surface forming these huge terraces. As we leave Mammoth Hot Spring heading south, the road passes thru Golden Gate. The road passes by Obsidian Cliff, a “mountain of glass”. This rock formation is the same as rhyolite, but in this case, the rhyolite cooled so quickly that it did not crystalize. Instead, black glass was formed.

The North Entrance Road from Mammoth Hot Springs runs along the Gardner River. The road winds down the Gardner River canyon, past crumbling walls of sandstone and ancient mudflows. The vegetation is much thicker in the canyon than on the open prairie down below, the common trees being Rocky Mountain juniper, cottonwood, and Douglas-fir. Low-growing willows also crowd the river’s edge in the flatter, flood-prone sections of the canyon.
