Grand Geyser Group
Yellowstone National Park, September 2003
We were fortunate enough to see an eruption of Grand Geyser, the tallest predictable geyser in Yellowstone. Its eruptions can reach a height of 200 feet, and it erupts in a series of multiple bursts, anywhere from 1 to 4 at a time.
There are two other smaller geysers (Vent and Turban) tied to Grand erupting in this photo as well.
Geyser
There is a geyser on an abandoned ranch near San Rafael Road south of Green River. It wasn't geysing when we were there, so I just took some shots of the colorful collection pool. I reduced the saturation in processing because it was just too much.
The geyser, by the way, was created during an attempt to drill a well.
