14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Mammoth Hot Creek

Most tourists are unaware of the hidden treasure and the natural beauty on the eastern side and just outside the boundary of Yosemite National Park. This hot volcanic creek is on the Eastern Sierra Nevada that flows east into the Long Valley Caldera as it joined by warmer water from geothermal springs as part of Inyo National Forest.
