Located in the Mammoth Hot Springs area at the northern entrance near Yellowstone National Park, the Boiling River discharges water from a mysterious source beneath a nearby hydrothermal terrace that drains water out of the ground at temperatures of more than 100 degrees.

The river is just the right temperature when mixed with the icy waters of the Gardner River. At the meeting point of the hot and cold streams, there is even a hot spring waterfall for hot water massage, which is very suitable for playing in the water, and is a paradise that ordinary tourists rarely find.

This is the introduction of the boiling river in the travel guide, and it was after reading this that Yan'er had the idea of wanting to take a dip.

But in fact, Jinyang learned a little on the Internet, the boiling river is not actually marked on the map of the national park, and there are no road signs on the road, and the travel guide that the fat uncle gave them at the hotel is actually made by the hotel itself to provide to tourists for free.

The introduction of this information about the boiling river was also added by the hotel itself.

However, the Boiling River is one of the few places in Yellowstone National Park where you can soak in natural hot springs, and the key is that it's still free.

It's winter, and although it's a rare natural hot spring, there's no changing room or anything like that, and there's no swimsuit service.

There is no shortage of tents and swimsuits in the backpacks of the two of them, and when the time comes, it is a big deal to set up a tent and change clothes inside, and the other person will just watch outside, and it will just take a little more effort to leave and right.

Driving a snowmobile, following the direction on the map, walked many forks in the road, and when crossing the Gardner River from the North Gate Highway, Jinyang finally saw a mark on the north side of the river to indicate 45 degrees north latitude.

"Hey, I found it. Jinyang roared excitedly, and the map showed that slightly south of the 45th degree mark, there was a parking lot on the east side of the road, which was specially for people who swam in the boiling river.

After looking for a little, Jin Yang saw the parking lot, and then parked the motorcycle directly here.

"Yan'er, bring your things, let's hurry up, it seems that we should have found the right place, there are a lot of motorcycles parked here." "This parking lot is very small, and this is where the Boiling River Trail begins.

The Gardner River is a small stream with a fast flow rate, and the water is cold, because of the fast flow rate, even in the winter temperature of dozens of degrees below zero, there is no freezing, and the sound of rushing water sounds very pleasant.

"Jinyang, this place looks very good, look ahead, there is an old man fishing, can you catch fish on such a cold day?" Yan'er excitedly pointed to a white-bearded old man not far in front of him.

Following the direction of Yan'er's finger, Jin Yang really found the old man who was concentrating on fishing with a fishing rod, he was wearing a brown cowboy hat and a thick coat, which looked a little funny.

But fishing in such weather... Jinyang can only say that he is convinced!

Whether you can catch a fish or not, it's too cold, right?

Continuing on, after a while, the two of them saw a smaller stream, still steaming, and in the cold winter, it looked more like a puff of white smoke rising from the water.

Yan'er said in a daze: "This is the boiling river? It's a little too small, isn't it?"

"It should be here, right? Look ahead, isn't there someone soaking in it?" Jin Yang pointed to a meeting point in the distance, where the Boiling River and the Gardner River converged, one cold and the other hot, forming a Yexi Hot Spring with just the right temperature.

Tourists here build up the stones here to form a natural hot spring pool, and some tourists soak in these hot spring pools and enjoy this rare hot spring treatment.

"Oh, Jinyang, let's hurry up and set up a tent, I'm a little impatient. Looking at the tourists who were laughing and playing in the water, Yan'er's eyes were shining, and he hurriedly urged Jinyang to quickly set up the tent and change his clothes inside.

To be honest, it's so cold now, there is no tent to block the cold wind, hehe, even if you are not afraid of walking away or something, you will be frozen into a dog!

It couldn't be easier for Jin Yang to set up a tent or something, and after a while, not far from the shore, he set up a simple tent.

"Hurry up and change, it's cold, don't freeze. After instructing, Jin Yang stood outside and waited, waiting for Yan'er to change into a swimsuit and come out.

Not many people come to the hot springs, the weather is so cold that most people don't have the courage to take off their thick coats and change into thin swimsuits, they just stand on the shore and watch, cheering on their relatives and friends.

"It's so cold!" The smoke came out quickly, and when it was blown by the cold wind, the spirit shivered, and without Jinyang's urging, she shrunk her neck a few times and walked to the shore of a simple 'hot spring pool', trembling and carefully entering the water.

"Oh, it's hot. ”

"Slow down, be careful of slipping!" Jin Yang looked frightened, this place looked surrounded by stones, in case it slipped and bumped, it was not a trivial matter.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, hmm, sizzle, it's so comfortable. Slowly soaking the whole person in the warm spring water, Yan'er let out a long sigh, his eyes were half-squinted, and he was indescribably comfortable.

"Jinyang, you should hurry up and come down, this feels really comfortable. ”

"Okay, wait for me a while. Jinyang changed his clothes faster, three times five divided by two, and he got to the side of the smoke with a swish, and the warm spring water stirred him all over, and he sighed in his mouth: "Cool!"

"Squeak, squeak. Little Andy stood alone on the shore with a red panda and kept calling and protesting, selling a cute from time to time, as if to say, shovel, why leave me?

I want to soak in the hot springs too!

It's a pity that the two unscrupulous owners are enjoying the hot springs, ignoring its requests, and making a little guy angry, constantly "squeaking", and waving their little paws in the air indiscriminately.

There was no way to get to the back, the little guy even sat on a big stone angrily, his round eyes were wide, and his two little paws were held in front of him, just like an angry and grumpy child, so angry!

The cute appearance caused a burst of exclamations from everyone around.

"Oh my God, where did this little guy come from? It's so cute. ”

"yes, you look at it, it looks like an angry child!"

"Oh my God, look, it seems to be shy, haha, look at that, it turns its face away. ”

"What a cute little elf, what's wrong with it? Hungry? But I don't look like it!"

"Maybe it's having a fight with its mother and is playing a tantrum?"
