Yellowstone National Park - Morning Glory Pool is one of the most popular and beautiful pools in Yellowstone. It was named in the 1880s due to its deep blue coloration and like ness to the Morning Glory flower. At one time, you passed Morning Glory Pool on your way in to the Upper Geyser Basin. Over time, the color changed due to temperature changes caused by garbage (coins, stones, limbs) being thrown into the pool. The NPS now cleans the pool on a yearly basis but the original color has not returned.
