Yellowstone is one giant super-volcano. An eruption would be hundreds if not thousands of times larger than any eruption in modern history. Apart from the possibility of it erupting at any given moment, there are many other reasons to want to be here. There were parts of the park which were still heavily blanketed with snow. Other parts felt summery and mild. Water running off mountains had formed the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and some beautiful cascading waterfalls.
Water also comes up from the ground in the form of geysers. The Old Faithful geyser is probably the most famous attraction in the park after faithfully sprays super heated water and steam 20-30 metres into the air roughly every 90 minutes.
Prismatic pool was also a highlight. The day we were up there it wasn't too busy. After the mandatory photo from every possible angle we could think of, we could just relax and sit on the broad walk. The afternoon was warm and soothing. There was little wind to harass us. The steam rose from the pool of bright green, blue and orange, in a silent, serene manner which settled our hurried and hectic journey for long enough to really enjoy a few moments next to the pool. The gentle stillness of the entire scene was really enjoyable.
