A Snapshot and The Scoop: The Dragon's Mouth


Named over a hundred years ago by a park visitor, this hot spring at Yellowstone National Park certainly captures the imagination. Impossible to see with a single picture, the water in this spring roils and crashes with violent waves much like a dragon's tongue, while gasses bubbling to the surface release a dull, constant roar, contributing to the noise of the waves already bouncing off the cave's walls. Add a little steam into the mix, and it's not hard to imagine a dragon snoozing in the caverns beyond the mouth of the spring. While not the prettiest hot spring by any means, this was one of my favorites purely for the creative name and images provoked.
