Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States 25 Aug 2025

If you"re looking for a view that really rises to the occasion, head to the Calcite Springs Overlook in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. This thermal-meets-canyon overlook offers front-row views of the Yellowstone River carving its way through a lava-forged canyon. Along the basalt cliffs, white mineral deposits that gave Calcite Springs its name are visible, formed by mineral-rich waters still steaming from underground. You might spot a bald eagle gliding overhead or bison lounging nearby. Yellowstone is more than just a park—it"s a supervolcano with a visitor centre.
