    This video was the best I have ever seen of Yellowstone. Thank you Slim for putting a tremendous amount of time into showing us hot springs, geysers and the thermal pools close up. I felt like I was standing there in front of them.

    Visited Yellowstone in August on our three-month overland and had a great time. We didn't stay in the park as it was full, so we stayed at Rex Hale State Park, a short drive from Yellowstone. You are right, road construction is an ongoing issue. We spoke to a Ranger and she said the issue is the repair/construction crews only have a brief window of opportunity to do repairs etc., so it seems like something is being fixed ALL THE TIME. All that said, we will visit Yellowstone again. Impossible in our view to see everything in one visit. Safe travels.

I'd be glad to point you in the right direction. Just around the corner from the Grand Prismatic there is a short trail that goes up the hillside overlooking the Grand. From there you can look down on the spring and really see all the colors.
