Beryl Spring

Introduction

Beryl Spring is an easily reached and vividly colored hot spring beside Yellowstone's grand loop, named for the beryl-like blue-green hue of its water. It is a typical non-erupting spring where subterranean hot water continuously emerges near boiling point, with minerals and thermophile bacteria together producing captivating color gradients. From the roadside pullout, the circular pool appears deep indigo at the center, transitioning to emerald and orange at the rim, with such high saturation it resembles a spilled palette. Beryl Spring sits beside the Madison River and forms a dense thermal cluster with nearby fumaroles and churning mud pots, making it a must-stop photo point on the grand loop drive.
