GEYSER GAZING

I visited Yellowstone National Park in the summer of 2001. Old Faithful gets all the fame but honestly it was one of the least impressive geysers that I saw at Yellowstone. Old Faithful is known for it's frequency of eruption and the great height it achieves, but this tiny geyser called Pink Cone Geyser was probably my favorite at the park. While Old Faithful's bursts last anywhere from 1-5 minutes, this little guy generally sprays for 1 - 2 hours at a time!!!!! Plus you don't have to deal with the crowds to view it. If you ever get to Yellowstone - go check it out! - Lydia Marcus
