The Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. The state is a great plateau broken by a number of important mountain ranges. In the northwest are the Absaroka, the Owl Creek, Wyoming, Gros Ventre, Wind River and the Teton ranges. In the north central are the Big Horns; in the northeast, the Black Hills; and in the southern portion of Wyoming, the Laramie, Medicine Bow and Sierra Madre ranges.

Yellowstone National Park’s thermal features can be seen as the product of millions of years of geology at work. Geysers are hot springs that erupt periodically. The eruptions is the result of super-heated water below-ground becoming trapped in channels leading to the surface.
Porkchop Geyser's name derives from its pork chop-shaped sinter mound. Measuring around 2 feet in diameter, the geyser was once a tranquil hot spring until 1971 when it began erupting intermittently. In 1989, it experienced a violent hydrothermal explosion, scattering debris over 200 feet away and significantly altering its appearance. In that year, a visitor named David Kirwan died after attempting to rescue his friend's dog from the hot spring.

The thin, burnt-out trees with white at their base resembling paint, are likely lodgepole pines that have been affected by the park's geothermal activity. The white substance at the base of these trees is a result of mineral deposits, particularly silica, from the hot springs and geysers. When geothermal water seeps into the soil, it deposits these minerals around the tree trunks, which can give them a white, encrusted appearance. The trees often die due to the intense heat and changing soil conditions caused by the geothermal features, leaving behind these ghostly, mineral-covered remnants.
