White Elephant Back Terrace
Here, a long ridge replaces the terrace shape seen so frequently elsewhere in Mammoth. Water flowing from a rift in the earth's crust has built the mounded formation, which someone thought looked like the vertebral column of an elephant. Portions of the Upper Terraces beyond White Elephant Back are very old and have been inactive for hundreds of years. Mammoth Hot Springs Tour |
