The Sepulcher Mountain Trailhead is located alongside Mammoth Hot Springs.

After passing Liberty Cap on a short boardwalk traverse, I arrive at Beaver Ponds Trail which overlays the Sepulcher Mountain Trail for a little ways before branching off to go its own way. I turn left and head up the trail.

Immediately to my left I see the edge of a spring terrace, one of many at Mammoth Hot Springs. This particular formation is very close to the trail, I'm a bit surprised it's not fenced off from the public. I can see little Junior stomping around on it if left unsupervised.
