one hour.

surprising is that the winter snow did not melt. Antelope walking freely in the
foothills.

And along the road, Yellowstone Lake in front. Crystal clear blue
water, accompanied by the reflection of the mountains, it is very beautiful.
Yellowstone Lake is the most important place for the
entire National Park, all creatures are relied on it grow up. Its average
altitude of 2376 meters, covers an area of 352 square kilometers, with an
average depth of 42 meters, the deepest is 118 meters. In North America,
located sea level 2000 meters above in freshwater lakes, Yellowstone Lake can
be regarded as the greatest. Stood by the lake, look around, distant snow still
in the sun light, to see where the lake and the sky the same color, very
elegant, fascinating.
Through the Fishing Bridge northbound, then to the Mud
Volcano, that braved the bubble pond. We can also hear the roar from the mud
pool hole.

Nearby Lake in Yellowstone National Park, there is a
well-known Colorful Spring. That Colorful Spring, there must be a unique color.
That is a fact. Because a large number of frequent geological movement, making
all kinds of geysers dotted located in most areas of Yellowstone National Park.
Took a little way, we shall see the fog cloud-shrouded, rotten egg smell
blowing, it must be a geyser place, that must be the smell of sulfur from
geology.
Clearly, nature has its unfairness. Such as geysers,
some large, some small, some ugly, some beautiful, some unpleasant odor, and
some smell okay. Ugly of it, just depressed, only one monotonous gray, like
crows without makeup. Beauty of it, it is colorful, colorful overspill, as
vivid patterns of birds. The Colorful Springs should be a queen among these
birds.

These gorgeous bright colors, divided into many
layers of color. They are pigmented bacterium, the results around the rich
minerals and growth in the water environment. These microorganisms can produce
all of the colors from green to red. The amount of color in microorganisms,
that is, the ratio of chlorophyll, carotene, depending on the water temperature.
Moreover, since the four seasons, the extent of the growth and activity of
microorganisms is sometimes low, sometimes high, so they tune out the colors
are different for each season. In summer, spring is often the orange and red.
In the winter it is usually dark green. Color with the seasons change, it is
also unique colorful spring. If bright colors, lose changes, so will become
very concept of such factors, not that surprising.

In Yellowstone National Park to drive, as long as
there is a lot of cars on the road or people stopping place, it must be someone
discovered the wild animals (such as Buffalo, Moose, Pronghorn, etc.). Buffalo
can only close, really daunting; fortunately it just obediently grazing. We
just drove slowly, quiet in the past. We do not want to disturb it.
