Grand Teton National Park is a haven for ospreys, skilled hunters often seen soaring above rivers and lakes. These striking birds dive feet-first into the water to catch fish, their primary food source, showcasing incredible precision and strength.

Ospreys have reversible outer toes, allowing them to grip slippery fish firmly—a rare adaptation among raptors. Their nests, built high on trees or manmade platforms, can weigh over 300 pounds!

In late spring and summer, wildflowers grace Yellowstone’s meadows. The Lupinus Latifolius with vibrant spikes of purple-blue flowers play an essential role in the ecosystem, enriching the soil and supporting other native flora.

This wildflower thrives in harsh environments, showcasing the resilience of Yellowstone’s high-altitude plants. Its flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to the park’s rich biodiversity.

Once the largest geyser in Yellowstone, Excelsior Geyser Crater now bubbles as a steaming hot spring in Midway Geyser Basin. Its eruptions in the late 1800s were so powerful that they altered its structure, leaving behind a massive crater over 300 feet wide.

The water temperature reaches an astonishing 199°F (93°C), and Excelsior discharges over 4,000 gallons of water per minute into the Firehole River, showcasing the immense power of Yellowstone’s geothermal system.

Nestled in the Gibbon Geyser Basin, Beryl Hot Spring is one of Yellowstone’s hottest geothermal features, with temperatures averaging 196°F (91°C). Its striking blue-green hue, reminiscent of the gemstone beryl, is caused by the mineral-rich water and microbial life thriving in extreme heat.

Old Faithful is a geothermal marvel powered by Yellowstone’s volcanic activity. Beneath the surface, magma heats groundwater to temperatures exceeding 204°F (95.5°C). When pressure builds, the geyser erupts, shooting boiling water and steam up to 180 feet into the air!

✨Fun Fact: Old Faithful erupts approximately every 60 to 110 minutes, with each eruption lasting 1.5 to 5 minutes.
