Bobby Sock Trees and Tangled Creek, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Tangled Creek in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, curves through a patch of dead lodgepole pine trees that have a silica crust at their base, resembling bobby socks. The trees are in the Black Sand Basin of Yellowstone, a geothermal area. When the hot spring runoff shifted, the trees absorbed the silica-rich water.
