Hot Springs, Cold Rivers
Yellowstone is well known for its natural beauty, numerous hikes, and enormous geysers, but my favorite part of the park is the boiling river. The boiling river is where a hot spring of extremely hot water feeds into a chilly river. The result is an area in the river that only requires moving several feet to change temperature. There are pockets of very hot water and very cold water, and currents that push and pull these pockets around.

If it isn't too crowded you can find a secluded spot, sit back, and enjoy the nature around you.

The nicest aspect of this area is that it is comfortable year round; it snowed the day this was taken.

Here you can see the multiple points where the hot springs flow into the river:
