Apollinaris Spring overview
Apollinaris Spring
One of the key reasons to visit Apollinaris Spring is its otherworldly appearance. The bright blue water is caused by the high concentration of dissolved minerals, which create a visual spectacle that is truly unique to this spot. Visitors to the spring can walk along the boardwalk that surrounds it and get an up-close look at the beautiful colors and patterns that are visible beneath the surface.
In addition to its striking appearance, Apollinaris Spring is also home to a number of unique geological formations. Visitors can see the various terraces and pools that have formed over time due to the mineral deposits from the spring. The surrounding landscape is also dotted with geysers, steam vents, and other hydrothermal features, making for a truly unforgettable experience.
Overall, Apollinaris Spring is a must-see for anyone visiting Wyoming's national parks. Its stunning beauty and unique geological features make it a true highlight of the Norris Geyser Basin, and visitors are sure to be amazed by the sights they encounter here.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
