Little Hot Creek, which used to be a remote retreat location near Mammoth Mountain, is now a site you might see at Yellow Stone National Park. As you follow this trail up the creek, the water's colors start to get very wild, eventually becoming something you would see only down a wood walkway in Yellow Stone. This area used to allow people to sit near these hot springs in the warm/hot water, but with the current spike in temperatures in the Mammoth Caldera, the water is now too hot for a human to touch. So if exploring the area, keep that in mind. Since this is in BLM land, there are many great places to camp around the trail. But if you can choose, check out the camping near the hot springs to the south.
