Grand Prismatic Spring, located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. Known for its stunningly vibrant colors, the spring's vivid hues of blue, green, yellow, orange, and red are a result of microbial mats around the edges of the mineral-rich water. These colors change with the seasons, adding to the dynamic beauty of the site. The spring is approximately 370 feet in diameter and over 121 feet deep, with water temperatures averaging around 160°F (70°C).
