Comments: Grand Pristmatic Spring is a true marvel to view. Billions of bacteria flourish in the hot spring water and provide many delightful colors. The spring is quite large, with a blue center reminiscent of the ocean near a Caribbean island. On many days, steam rises from the center and often blows swiftly over those on the nearby boardwalk.
