Mammoth Hot Springs

Not to be confused with the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, South Dakota Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution).

Fort Yellowstone

Fort Yellowstone was a U.S. Army fort established in 1891 at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Though Yellowstone National Park was designated in 1872, the U.S. Department of the Interior was unable to effectively manage Yellowstone. Administration of the park was transferred to the War Department in August 1886 and General Philip Sheridan sent the U.S. Army to Mammoth Hot Springs to build a cavalry post.
