es. Some four miles up the river, at the point where theroad leaves it, the tourist gets his first sight of anyindication of subterranean heat. This is a largestream of hot water, in early times called the BoilingRiver, issuing from an opening in the rocks andemptying directly into the river. It is formed of thecollected waters of Mammoth Hot Springs which findtheirway to this point through underground passages.It was here that numbers of invalids were en-camped when Hayden and Barlow saw the spot in1871.
