Sightseeing
Old Faithful Geyser & Geyser Trail Sightseeing and moderate hiking
Lamar Valley No other destination in Yellowstone gives you a greater opportunity to see wild bison than Lamar Valley. The Lamar River feeds a wide grassy valley, drawing the massive grazers to the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park. In addition to bison, Lamar Valley is also renown for its gray wolf population. These crafty creatures are harder to spot than the big bison, but you’ll have a better chance of spotting one around sunrise and sunset.In addition to bison and wolves, you can see elk, pronghorns, and even grizzlies in Lamar Valley. Fishing in the Lamar River is another popular activity in Lamar Valley.
Yellowstone Mammoth Hot Springs There were originally several hot springs flowing down the hillside, and the hillside was dyed colorful by the microorganisms in the spring water, forming a colorful large staircase. However, due to a crustal movement in 2002, most of the hot springs here are no longer active. The microorganisms turned into grayish white powder after death, which remained on the dry large staircase, reflecting the dazzling sunlight, turning this place into a solemn and barren land. With the movement of the crust, a place that was once very active may suddenly become quiet; a place that was originally unknown may also become a sensation.
The Grand Prismatic Hot Spring Also known as the Seven Color Pool, it is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is 75-91 meters wide and 49 meters deep, and it gushes out about 2,000 liters of 71-degree hot water every minute. The amazing thing about the Grand Prismatic Spring is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. In spring, the lake changes from emerald green to golden orange-red, which is due to the algae and pigment-containing bacteria and other microorganisms living in the mineral-rich water. In midsummer, the chlorophyll content is relatively low, so the lake water appears brilliant orange, red or yellow. But in the cold winter, due to the lack of light, these microorganisms will produce more chlorophyll to suppress the color of carotenoids, so the water will appear deep dark green.

Great Salt Lake Marina Great Salt Lake, lake in northern Utah, U.S., the largest inland body of salt water in the Western Hemisphere and one of the most saline inland bodies of water in the world. The lake is fed by the Bear, Weber, and Jordan rivers and has no outlet. The lake has fluctuated greatly in size, depending on the rates of evaporation and the flow of the rivers that feed it. Like the Dead Sea, the Great Salt Lake exists within an arid environment and has chemical characteristics like that of the oceans. However, it has a much greater salinity than the oceans, since natural evaporation exceeds the supply of water from the rivers feeding the lake.
In the morning, visit Utah’s iconic State Capitol and the world-famous Temple Square, the spiritual center of Mormonism. Then explore the Great Salt Lake—North America’s largest inland salt lake—before heading to Salt Lake City International Airport to end your journey.
