On the road to the summit of Dunraven Pass, just before reaching Tower Falls is the Calcite Springs view area from which can be seen the steaming Calcite Springs along the winding Yellowstone River. There's also a paved nature trail offering other views of the river and steep cliffs between which it flows. Early morning and late afternoon offer the best light for photography as well as few crowds.
