The Great Prism (also known as the Great Rainbow) is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest hot spring in the world. It is named "the most beautiful surface of the earth". In 1871, it was discovered by geologists and named the Great Prism for its striking color. Hot spring water is rich in minerals, so that algae and colony of coloured bacteria can survive in the water, thus showing these colours. Hot springs show blue, green, yellow, orange, orange and red colours from inside to outside, while hot springs have no living things in the center because of the high temperature. A wooden walkway was built around the prism and it took about 40 minutes to walk down in a circle. The best angle to see the big prism is overlooking, but when we drove to view point, we found that the road was blocked, and the sign said that because of the presence of bears, visitors were not allowed to go up the hillside viewing platform. Unfortunately. Plus when we were on the Great Prism Trestle, the fog was so big that we could hardly see it, so the scenery was only four stars.

    Big Prism Grand Prismatic Spring, one of the most famous hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Big Prism is a representative work of Yellowstone, like a business card of Huangshan's welcoming pine. People can never go to Huangshan, but you must have seen the image of the welcoming pine; Similarly, people may not have been to Yellowstone, but the panorama of the Great Prism must have appeared on the top US tourism list. The colorful prism, about 100 meters in diameter, is the largest and third largest hot spring in the United States, nearly 50 meters deep, the water temperature is as high as 85 ℃, and 2,000 liters of spring water are poured out every minute. In the rainy sky, it looks more steamy. The angle that pedestrians can see is a side plane, not the panoramic view of the air seen on the major brochures. But even if it is only a corner, it has felt its momentum, and there is a feeling of not knowing the true face of Lushan, just being in this mountain. There is another kind of general God-level scenery that will not be easy to see. The whole day of sightseeing, just a few minutes of staying here, it rained, the climate at this time, the wind and rain, people feel in the arms of nature, with the sky clouds, the wind and rain, the chic. I have always believed that all encounters during the journey are fate, and enjoy the full experience of the wind and rain and heat between the world. Here, it is a classic! The following paragraph is heard on the Internet: "The beauty of the big prism hot spring is that the color of the lake changes with the season, and in spring, the lake changes from green to brilliant orange red, which is due to microorganisms such as algae and pigment-containing bacteria living in mineral-rich water bodies. The ratios of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their bodies change with the seasons, so the water body takes on a different color. "So, in the summer we arrive, the chlorophyll content here is relatively low, showing orange, red, or yellow. But in winter, due to lack of light, these microorganisms produce more chlorophyll to inhibit the color of carotenoids, so they see the water body appear dark green. Compared with the big prism, there are three small hot springs around, although there is no big prism atmosphere, but still exquisite and beautiful.

    One of the most famous attractions in the United States, located in the Rocky Mountains known as the "American Ridge", spanning three states, is the world's largest volcanic basin park. It is full of hot springs, and the Great Prism Hot Spring is the most famous and beautiful hot spring. Under the intense sunlight in summer, the hot spring water transpiration, with reflected blue light, and various colors displayed with surrounding sulfur and other minerals, formed a unique landscape of colorful prisms, and the scene made people linger.

    This is the most magical hot spring in Yellowstone Park. It is impossible to see the panoramic view of the Great Prism Spring just along the outer walkway. Close viewing of the big prism will be affected by rising steam and wind, which greatly reduces the viewing effect. The best angle to look at a big prism is to look down. If you want to see the whole picture of Yellowstone's beautiful big eyes, you have to climb the mountain behind the Great Prism Spring. Driving southeast along the highway, there is a parking lot called fairy falls. After crossing the iron bridge, walking right and along the riverside road for ten minutes, you can see the big prism rising on the right hand side. There are many talented people on the left side of the mountain. It's not very scary. After ten minutes, you can climb the platform on the mountain and see the panorama of the big prism. There are trails in the Grand Prism Scenic Area, but they are not very clear because of the transpiration of hot air.

    The Great Prism Hot Spring is the landmark scenic spot of Yellowstone Park, but if you want to see the propaganda pictures on the propaganda picture, you have to watch it by helicopter in the air, or climb the nearby mountain when time permits, the scenery will be more perfect.

    The Big Diamond Mirror Hot Spring in Yellowstone Park, known as the "most beautiful surface of the earth", is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is also the most attractive hot spring in Yellowstone Park. Walking along the pavement, it has a warm atmosphere. To get a panoramic view of the turbot mirror, climb around the hillside behind it, and there is a path beside it. I don't think I'm in trouble, but I have to pay attention to safety. It's the best visual overlook of the turbot mirror to get the feeling of postcards. The panoramic beauty of the turbot mirror is so shocking that only when you are there can you realize the magic of nature.

    In the sunshine, the vast folded ground around the prism emits magical reflections. It's amazing. The colours are different from different angles. Everyone who comes here will see different color pictures at different times and from different angles. In this moment, time and light may not be the best, but it is the only one. The closer we get to the Great Prism Hot Spring, the less we can see its standard panorama, but at close range, we can feel the heat of the Great Prism Spring vapor, and hear its gentle pulsation. It is a wonderful feeling that we can not see in the photos and are in the scene.

    The most amazing thing about the Great Prism is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. It is known as the "Eye of Yellowstone ", also known as" the most beautiful surface on earth. Personally, I think it's one of the most worthwhile scenic spots in Yellowstone Park, but if you just look at it from the perspective of the map, because with the lake level and rising water vapor, you can't see the classic scenery like that in National Geographic and various travel website magazines. If you want to take a picture of the Great Prism, you have to go this way - "After going out of the Great Prism scenic spot, drive about 2.5 kilometers in the old faithful direction. On the right hand side of the road, there will be a sign indicating a scenic spot called Fairy Falls, with a parking lot at the end. Stop and walk into the next iron bridge. Then it's a long road paved with cinder. It's about 15-20 minutes'walk (about 1000 meters). You'll find the big prism just seen in Zhongquan District is on your right hand, and there's a small slope on your left hand. There are many fallen trunks on the slope, and there's a mud road stepped out artificially. That's the way to climb mountains. "There's no road in the world at all. It is absolutely a true portrayal of this place. To say the road, there is no way at all. They are all climbing up the trunk on the ground. It's harder to get down the hill. You have to move carefully. It takes about 30-40 minutes to go up and down the mountain, basically using both hands and feet. We started from the parking lot and went back to the parking lot for 75 minutes. When you looked at the big prism, you really felt that all the hard work was worthwhile. And God was so helpful that you could take a panoramic view of the big prism in the sunshine. There was no regret about this trip. It was the best time to take a picture around 2 o'clock at noon, because the temperature was the highest and the water vapor would be much less. It's very difficult to go up the hill, but it's even more difficult to go down the hill. We can't take care of the cleanliness of our clothes and trousers. So if we want to take a panorama, we must be prepared mentally. This road is not easy even for adults, let alone for children, but also for girls. We should definitely give praise to the children's performance, even though the clothes and trousers are all dirt.
