Mammoth Hot Springs is "one of the world's best protected examples of travertine-depositing hot springs ... Inactive terraces underlie most of this area, including under the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and the Albright Visitor Center." For great lighting, early mornings and later in the evening just prior to sunset are great times to visit and photograph the terraces and hot springs of this area.
