Mammoth Hot Springs is a far drive north from the west entrance to the park at West Yellowstone, Montana. We drove and drove and got stuck in traffic jams and by the time we got there, we didn’t have much time to see it. Mammoth has a thriving community of hotels, restaurants, and shops as well as a resident elk herd that beds down in the middle of the intersection, along with its own signs and rangers to watch over it.
The springs were huge, so I guess that’s why their name is Mammoth, and there are boardwalks all over the place. We walked around a little of it and climbed to the top of one plateau, but there’s a lot to see there. All the thermal stuff is so interesting in Yellowstone.
