Grand View!,

“This is a view of the Grand Prismatic Spring from the hillside above. This pool is located in the Midway Geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park. The view from the board walk really does not allow you to see the wonderful colour of this the largest spring in the park. If you go about a mile south of the Midway parking lot you come to the parking lot for the hike to Fairy Falls. You walk about a mile down the road and then scramble up the hill for a fantastic view of the spring. There is an overlook about 50 ft. up which is OK and easy to get to. If you don’t mind scrambling up a steeper incline, keep going to the top of the hill to get this view.
Some day I’d like to be one of the lucky few to photograph this feature from the air which provides the most spectacular view.
