The geyser was the highlight of our day! After hiking 1.5 hours through snow, we were pleasantly surprised to be right on time to witness the eruption. It was a beautiful moment with just us and nature. Well worth the hike!

This is a very beautiful geyser. It is also not crowded here like at old faithful. This is a 6 mile round trip hike, but bicycles are allowed which I would highly recommend if you have them. The geyser erupts every 3 hours or so, and has a duration of about 30 mins.
