Holly Mau

Beautiful little hot spring and well worth the walk

Siddhesh Deshpande

There's a small hike you have to do to get here. I wish totally recommend this place. It's tiny but magical.

Gregg Wagener

This is one of the prettiest thermal features in the park.

Jeremy Gagliardi

Very colorful place

Vihang Kadam

Loved this place. First time there and I was in awe. Must visit when in Yellowstone.

Debbie Robb

Be sure to walk or bike the path away from Old Faithful to view this spectacular iconic colored pool. Thirty years after I first saw it, I am pleased to see that the vent has steadily been cleared of debris so that the true depth of morning glory color has returned.

Hyrum Booth

The walk to get there is worth it! Go at like 6 in the morning before everyone gets there...it is calm and peaceful.

Jiahui Shi

A real beauty. Must see.

Rohosen Bandyopadhyay

Beautiful splendid gorgeous out of this world

Stephanie Wills

So glad we made the hike to see this pool!

Oriana V

great walk from the visitors centre! you can see most of the geysers in this basin on the way up to Morning Glory, so I definitely recommend the longer route.

Hemanth Vajje

Worth the walk all the way from Old faithful. Not just the destination but the way is beautiful too.

Kaydence Grebowiec

This is my favorite spot in Yellowstone because of how beautiful it is.

Color is getting better. Definitely worth the small hike over to it.

Jeffrey Elliott

Great place! Nice hike with paved walkway

grzegorz pilecki

One of the most beautiful and romantic place in Yellowstone, be there during sunny day in the morning (the best light) and take camera with wide angle lens

Joyce Wismann

Beautiful! Well worth the hike

Elena Maximova

Pretty but small pool. You need a wide lens to capture it.

Uday K

Morning Glory is on edge of the trail and the walk is truly worth it. Be sure you save some energy to walk till the end as it’s the treasure! Take some water bottles to get hydrated along the way. There’s also a restroom next to it so it comes hand at times.

Angela Leung

Paved road from old faithful... Easy walk about 1.5 miles

Wit Derby

Very cool. Too bad some visitors don't respect the beauty in nature and toss their trash or coins into it.

Aaron Johnson

If you are visiting Old Faithful, be sure to make the walk out here. Amazing feature to see. The walk out here is easy for all ages and plenty of other things to see while walking out here.

Samuel Richards

Very beautiful spring. So cool to see different algae are different colors creating such beauty

Mark Nuetzi

2.6 mile hike, beautiful pool, awesome brilliant colors

A very neat place to visit and if you're at Old Faithful, it's just a short hike.

Cathy Call

Beautiful scenery

Mahmoud El-Tahawy

Must see point in the Yellowstone Park it is in the end of a loop behind old faith do not neglect seeing it. It is the most beautiful one of them u will spend some time there

Erik Slover

Worth the hike. Definitely go early in the morning.

Lenn Heighes

One of my favorite walks in Yellowstone. Check with the visitors center to check out times for possible eruptions.

Eric Appleton

Just beautiful

Pierre Dahl

Amazing view of the pool

AnnaSara Fagersson

Cool experience to see this hot spring

Ernie Pierce

Beautiful natural hot spring well worth the hike.

Troy Nagao

This was a great pool work such vibrant colors.

Danielle Smith NP-C

So beautiful!

Allison Swenson

Completely beautiful! The coloration is amazing, from dark orange to brilliant blue. It really does look like it does in pictures! Bit if a walk (or bike) to get there, but worth it, and you'll see fascinating thermal features along the way. It's a real shame people throw trash in it--it changes the color and makes it less interesting. As an extra bonus, there's a bathroom and picnic table near the pool.

Ranae Gear

Unfortunately I have no idea what it looks like other than looking at pictures because there were sooooooo many tourists buses and rude people with very little parking! Even after looping around multiple times, I was unsuccessful. It’s a walk to the pool from the parking lot so other than distant steam and a crud load of crowds gathering, we missed out on the stop I was most excited about! The international tourists....not cool though, so disrespectful and walk in front of cars and poop in the corners of the parking lot bathrooms when they got full! Y’all it was disgusting and I witnessed it with my own eyes. Overall, I’m sure it would have been amazing to see it! Wish they would add more parking.

Ian C.

It has amazing colors and a lot of other great geysers before it.

John Macri

you can feel the hot stem.

Anna Hilton

It was pretty, very cold, and stunk

J Mac

Small pool on the trail from Old Faithful. Worth the trek.

Tim Larimore

Stunning! Absolutely worth the walk back to it from Old faithful.

cool suave

Nice but no water left there for good color pictures

Jeff Price

Worth the walk.

Curtis Lannom

Most definitely worth the walk from Old Faithful. There are plenty of other wonderful pools and geysers to see along the way. The colors and clarity of this pool are amazing.

HA ST

This is a true place of beauty. The blue, however contaminated by us, is still visible. Surrounded by yellow and orange ....just beautiful. I could see a coin inside, so probably not for long.....heartbreaking...

Jessie Mott

You need to parking near the parking lot at old faithful, then walk along the broadway to the end, about 20mins walk, then here it is! Hot spring, warm and clear. Worth it! The view is great

Michael and Heather Geddie

Long walk, but worth it! So much to see on the way. It’s about a mile walk from Old Faithful. Take your time, take water, and enjoy the sights...

Rajan Choksi

Nature's wonder.

Andy Ng

Truly glorious! The colors could not have been more vibrant and the water any more crystal clear!

Stephen Huse

Great color and the hike from old faithful was good exercise.

Joshua Walas

Amazing formation. The walk there has many other pools, hot springs, and geysers.

Brian Chan

Definitely worth the walk to see it. We started at Old faithful and followed the boardwalk on the higher side through all of the geysers and stopped by here at the end. After that we just took the shorter route back to the parking lot. Seeing all of the other geysers on the walk to Morning Glory Pool including Grand Geyser makes the walk go by very quickly.

David D

This is an easy 1.4 mile walk (2.8 miles round trip) paved trail in the Upper Geyser Basin (wheel chair accessible) from Old Faithful Inn to the Morning Glory Pool. Beautiful colors! Along the way, you'll get to see some geysers including Castle, Grotto, and Riverside.

Brittany Prater

Absolutely beautiful. I wish they had bikes to rent at the start of this path. Long walk.

Kris Stewart

Very pretty just keep in mind it is quite a walk out and back.

ADDISON WALKER

It was so much fun! Also, I ALMOST ruined my phone.

Rachel Rothberg

Just as worth going to this pool than grand prismatic spring because it is less crowded, colder (so there's less steam), and though it is smaller it still is remarkable!

Charles S

Be prepared for a hike to get to it but worth it. It is beautiful

Soham Gore

Beautiful hot water pool.

David H Steinbrugge

Absolutely beautiful, worth the block down from Old Faithful Lodge. It is just an absolute crime that people throw garbage in these Thermal pools. Thankfully we did not see any when we were there.

Florina Biermann

I really love these geysers, it's such a great natural spectacle, absolutely worth seeing

Michael Kain

Awesome

thatguychan guyus

Worth the walk up to it

Sagar Dwarampudi

Short hike to reach this place of the road. Definitely worth visiting!

Maria Klein

One of the most amazing hot springs in Yellowstone. Very beautiful! Definitely “must see”

Board Secretary

Still a convenient must - see thermal feature, but almost as much for the negative changes to this once glorious hot pool as for it's current paler presentation. An important site for its value in teaching about how uniformed or disrespectful human activity harms our natural treasures.

Chris Whipple

Really an awesome place to see an amazing phenomenon of nature. Go in the Fall to avoid the crowds; it's a little cold, but a lot easier to avoid the "cattle drive" effect of viewing it with so many people.

Trenna Butler

Stunning!

Danielle Carson

Beautiful color though sad that people threw things I it blocking its vent and made it less blue.

Olivia Cardo

This one is more green and yellowish compared to the others

Thomas Jones

This has always been my favorite geyser since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my parents always thought it was too far of a walk. Now that I'm grown up, "I" make the decisions. It's well worth the walk.

Kirby Leeke

Very pretty. A little walk from the parking lot.

Fred Lovine

It's like a mini version of Grand Prismatic. Well worth the walk.

Alan Dudley

We did the mile walk up and it was a really nice walk with some really cool features. Entered by the mirror pool.

Rob Nesbit

An easy walk from Old Faithful. One of the best and most gorgeous pools in Yellowstone. Tremendous color.

Jeff L

Pretty cool to walk by

Lindsey McCann

Beautiful. Crowded as expected, but worth the wait.

Bradley Rasmussen

The most interesting thing we saw in Yellowstone. You wouldn't believe it, but this is one of the highlights of the park lol.

alireza asgari

It's a long walk but worth the extra effort

Melva Muñoz

It's beautiful...

Ashish sinha

It's beautiful, however, don't expect to see the same as older pictures. The park now calls it 'Fading Glory' as the colors that come from very high temperatures (and the bacterias that live at those temps) have disappeared. That is due to people throwing random things into the pool, blocking the duct inside. What a shame!! Can't imagine someone walking all the way to see such a natural beauty and then decide to throw things into it?!?

M LeRoy Patterson

Beautiful and worth the walk, but as with us, age is diminishing its beauty and color.

Kelly Dwyer

Amazing colors in nature.

Mark Wiseman

This is a must see beautiful, natural pool at Yellowstone. Is a short (1.5 mile) hike from Old Faithful that is relatively flat and paved. You can definitely do it with a stroller or wheelchair. Absolutely worth it- and there are plenty of springs and geysers to see along the way.

Joe Sutton

Fabulous spot to visit if you're in Yellowstone. Beautiful colors, very deep hot spring pool that's emblematic of Yellowstone's geyser attractions Must not miss taking the hike along the geyser trail near Old Faithful and the lodges here. Unfortunately, in thinking or just plain stupid people throw items and "wishing well " coins into it each year, and that causes a discoloration and disturbances to the pool that are irreversible. Please refrain from doing this if you are ever here.

Jonathan Hsu

This hot spring is very colorful, but as the sign next to the pool says, it's fading glory. There's not much description of the pool itself other than how it's been filled with trash and coins. The walk is either 1.4milsa from the Old Faithful visitor center, some shade along the way, and several other geysers along the boardwalk or asphalt path. Good to see on its own, but small compared to the size and colors of the Grand Prismatic Spring.

Peter Anderson

This is a lovely pool, but continue your walk along the trail from here to biscuit basin. Artemesia geyser and other beautiful pools along this trail make it well with the extra walk. As an added bonus, you'll leave the crowds of the upper geyser basin behind you.

ashwini ashu

Around 1.5 mile hike from old faithful will take you to morning glory pool. On the way we can see so many gysers and if you are lucky you can see eruptions also. You cannot take vehicle near to this place. You have to take the trail.

R LaBounty

Very pretty, worth the short walk.

V Iyer

Very unique. Sad people have abused this natural phenomenon. Must see.

Byron Olson

A great hike from the old faithful visitors center. The the time to experience an amazing example of thermophilic bacteria.

Hope Bauer

So gorgeous. Can't imagine it's brilliance before pollution

Priyanka Labh

It was fabulous view

Michael Shaw

Beautiful pool without an excessive amount of tourists

Han Chuang

A miniature version of Grand Prismatic Spring. It takes about one mile of easy walk round trip from the Old Faithful, so it is not crowded. You get to enjoy the view of crystal-clear emerald pool and take as many detailed close-up pictures as you want. Do not throw anything into the pool because it will cause permanent damages to its ecosystem and the beautiful colors.

Jeff Choe

Need to walk about 1.5 miles from old faithful geyser, but it was well worth of walking. It wasn't that difficult hiking, but it is not too short. Also, you will see many other geysers on the way to morning glory.

Chris P.

Super clear water and little steam which makes it easy to see. Plus it's super easy to get to.

Chris Warren

Great place to visit

Erin Martin

The walk is a bit far but so very beautiful that you just don't care.

Xiaoyu Chen

Totally worth for the ling walk from old faithful geyser

MARY CRONK

Beautiful pool in the Old Faithful area!

Dave Higgins

This is an amazing pool. We came 9 years ago and it had a lot more color in it than it did this time. The park sign said it lost some color due to people tossing trash and other items into it. It's still great to look at, but not as colorful as it once was. Some of the greens around the edge have turned to blues. Now it looks more like some of the other springs/pools.

Gary Busching

The colors in this pool are amazing.

Bill Liu

This hot spring in Yellowstone has a very beautiful view and has very vibrant colors

Melanie Muckle

Stunning beauty. Worth the walk!

Morgz mum dies

Beautiful but fading and is one of the best looking there

Shuli Chen

Beautiful! Only a short hike from Old Faithful.

Mac McKuhl

It's nature, it gets 5 stars

Jonathan Ewert

Great hike. You'll be glad you got out of your car and made it to the end of the trail!

Denali Productions

Beautiful, clear, and as the name would suggest, glorious, especially if viewed in the morning before the sun has fully risen. Morning Glory is located near the end of the paved section of the Upper Geyser Basin walking path, and as such can take a little while to get to. The nearby River Geyser path does have a small outhouse, but this far out you will not be able to refill water bottles, so make sure to fully fill yours before you attempt the journey. DO NOT THROW ANY OBJECTS INTO THE POOL, even natural things like sticks and leaves. These clog the base of the pool and can damage the functionality of the spring, leading to alterations in water temperature that turn the feature an ugly, orange-brown. These clogs must be cleared manually by park workers, and is a hazardous process. Just take photos instead.

Ujjwal Jain

Its an easy 2.8 mile hike from old faithful to morning glory. There are geyser every few metres of this trail. I would definitely recommend this easy trail which ends at one of the most spectacular geyser in Yellowstone.

Leyland Wilson

It is beautiful although it is sad to hear that people have thrown coins in there and changed the minerals

Ed Hancock

Because of stupid visitors the pool while still beautiful has lost some of its past glory

Hari Rawat

Must see in Yellowstone national park

Lindsay Record

This is so beautiful, you can look from different angles and the walk to see it is so insightful!!

Howard SINCLAIR

Great but the smelll

Jeff Lawi

Well worth the walk to this pool. Brilliant colors.

Celeste Ruppelt

I have been to Yellowstone before, although it has been many years, and Morning Glory Pool had been one of my favorite places on the Upper Geyser Basin. I eagerly anticipated seeing it again on this trip. It was a much longer walk than I remembered... It's 1.5 miles on the boardwalk from Old Faithful Inn. While it was still clear and lovely, it had lost some of its beautiful blue color that gave it it's name and that set it apart for me. When I asked about it the Ranger said that the water has cooled some because of the debris that has been thrown into it by visitors and this has partially clogged the water vent. Geysers get their color from the water temperature and the minerals in it, plus the organisms that can tolerate the heat and thrive. Greens and oranges reflect cooler water. This caused me to respect these water features more for they are what bring people to this place. It is sad that this is happening; caused by people who think its funny. I want to see this place be around for others to enjoy, so I ask that others think about what they are doing to help keep the water features and the park pristine.

Ken Luke

Great and beautiful. Too bad people are killing it.

Frederyk Francisco Oramas-Calderon

The colors are amazing

Priyanka Bindumadhavan

Beautiful
