| Yellowstone National Park | Re: Where is Morning glory pool Posted: Sat June 28, 2008 02:06 PM UTC
It is in the Upper Geyser Basin, which is north of the Old Faithful area. This is my VT tip from my Yellowstone Pages on Virtural Tourist that discusses Morning Glory:
Besides the wonderful geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin you will see beautiful pools of hot water. With temperatures over 299 degrees F, Crested Pool is almost constantly boiling. Because of the high temperature, less bacterial growth can live in this pool making the water a crystal clear blue color. Morning Glory Pool a long time favorite of people visiting Yellowstone, is also located in the Upper geyser Basin. Unfortunately people throwing coins and trash into the water have damaged Morning Glory. These become embedded into the sides and the opening of the spring has been reduced. This in turn has caused the water temperature to cool some, allowing orange and yellow bacterial to grow in the now cooler water. These are just two of the wonderful pools to gaze into. Look into the pools and enjoy the variety of colors and textures of each. I would plan at least two hours to walk the boardwalks and trails around the Upper Geyser Basin.
