Steam, Stone & Mountains –( Mammoth Hot Springs)

Next up in this clip, we rolled into the tiny town of Mammoth, Wyoming. You guys watched us huff and puff through the Lower Terrace and scale up to the second terrace for an up-close look at those bizarre, oozing mineral formations. And as I pointed out, that ain't regular rock—it's travertine, basically built up layer by delicate layer like nature’s weirdest lasagna.

Then I yanked the Lectric XPeak off the rack and cruised up the Upper Terrace Loop Road. Up top, the view was unreal: hot springs steaming away right below us, framed by big mountain views that make you realize just how small your problems actually are.

Here you watched us roll south out of Mammoth Hot Springs along the Grand Loop Road.

Our first pitstop was Obsidian Cliff, which—as you saw—is literally an entire mountainside made of shiny volcanic glass. It cooked up from a lava flow roughly 180,000 years ago, and Native peoples were harvesting it for over 11,000 years. Arrowheads carved from this exact slab of glass have been dug up thousands of miles away, which is pretty wild to think about. It's a full-on National Historic Landmark now, complete with a cozy little stone kiosk from 1931.

Next, we checked out Semi-Centennial Geyser. It randomly blew its top back in 1922—right on Yellowstone's 50th birthday—blasting water a few hundred feet into the air before going back to sleep. After that was Roaring Mountain, a whole hillside aggressively hissing and steaming through fumaroles. Legend has it that back in the early 1900s, this place roared so loud you could hear it miles away, though nowadays it just sounds like a giant pressure cooker. And, of course, because it's Yellowstone, we capped it all off by getting stuck staring at some iconic local traffic hazards: bison.

The (Hottest Place in Yellowstone) (Norris Basin Geysers)

If you caught the clip, you saw me unhook the Lectric XPeak and cruise straight through the streets of West Yellowstone.

We wove past all the classic old storefronts, tourist-packed souvenir shops, and cool historic spots before pulling up to the Museum of the Yellowstone. That place sits inside the old Union Pacific train depot and is absolutely loaded with park history—including how early road crews somehow managed to carve roads out of raw wilderness back in the day.

Then we took off down Firehole Canyon Drive, which was honestly a total highlight. You got to ride along with us between those towering canyon walls with the river roaring beside us, right up to the ultimate payoff: Firehole Falls crashing straight through the heart of the canyon.

Old Faithful to West Thumb: Yellowstone's Best Day

In this video, you saw us kick things off bright and early at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park.

Once Old Faithful finished putting on its big show, we threw our gear in the van and hauled east over the Continental Divide straight to West Thumb Geyser Basin, right on the shores of Yellowstone Lake. You walked the entire boardwalk trail along with me down to the water’s edge—checking out bright, crazy-colored springs, bubbling mud pots, and hot thermal pools steaming and draining directly into the freezing cold lake.

In that part of the video, you saw our first stop was Lewis Falls. You walked the area right along with me, spotted a bit of local wildlife, and got to hear that water roaring long before we even laid eyes on it.

From there, we rolled out through the South Entrance and crossed straight into Grand Teton National Park. I made four distinct stops on the way down to Jackson, Wyoming, so you could get a full look at those insane, jagged peaks rising straight up out of the valley floor without a foothills warm-up.

Thanks, all.
