Description: Dead trees in the terraces of Canary Spring at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park grew during inactivity of the mineral-rich springs, and were killed when calcium carbonate carried by spring water clogged the vascular systems of the trees. Crepuscular rays are seen in the steam emerging from the hot springs.
