About Beryl Spring
Beryl Spring offers a striking display of aquamarine water that bubbles vigorously at 198°F, situated within the scenic expanse of Yellowstone National Park. This hot spring’s vibrant color and powerful geyser activity create a captivating natural spectacle that draws visitors from across Wyoming and beyond. It combines easy access with the dynamic energy of Yellowstone’s geothermal wonders.
Getting There
Located just off the Grand Loop Road, Beryl Spring is reachable by car without any hiking, making it one of the more accessible hot springs in Wyoming. Ample parking is available close to the overlook, allowing you to experience this site with little effort or preparation.
What to Expect
The spring’s intense temperature means swimming is not possible, but the site offers an evocative chance to witness the forces beneath the earth’s surface. The vibrant, churning pool emits steam, surrounded by wooden railings and interpretive signs that highlight the geothermal activity. Crowds are moderate, especially during peak park visiting hours.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit during mid-morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest times along the Grand Loop Road. Dress warmly in cooler months, as the open setting can feel chilly despite the hot spring’s heat. Keep a respectful distance behind the viewing barriers, and note that while there’s no fee to visit, park entrance requires a Yellowstone permit.
