Yellowstone National Park is famous around the world for its geothermal activity, with the smell of sulfur and the sight of steam issuing from cracks and vents througout the park. The Calcite Springs Overlook provides a wide-angle panorama of the Yellowstone River and steaming vents with plenty of photo ops and sweet light on a summer morning.
