This is a photo of the Boiling River, which is actually where a hot spring feeds into the Gardner River in the far north part of Yellowstone. You can see the steam coming off of the water from the hot spring. This is one of the very few spots where you are allowed to get into the water at a hot spring within Yellowstone.

It was amazing how you could be standing in one spot and simultaneously feel scalding hot water along with near freezing water. Another surprising aspect of this experience was how someone standing/walking upstream dramatically affected the temperature of the water you were feeling.

For me, this is a vivid reminder of how our actions can significantly impact others, even when we are completely unaware of that impact.
