CALCITE SPRINGS

Close to Roosevelt Lodge, this hot springs pool along the Yellowstone River signals the end of the Grand Canyon rapids. Modified géothermie by geothermal also inspired painter Moran. The imposing cliff of basalt columns across the river, facing from the panoramic point of view, is a remnant of an ancient lava lava lava flow that shaped largely the landscape of the park. These gorges and cliffs are protected habitat for many wildlife species, such as sheep, red-tailed falcon and osprey.
