The main attraction at Yellowstone are of course the many Geysers. They are a bit easier to find them, than bears or bisons as they don’t run away.
Many hot and boiling ponds provide a very nice and mostly colorfull spectacle. The water bubbles as the hot steam searches a way to the surface. Sometimes just steam evaporates accompanied by sound as if someone had opened a big valve. Each of those holes has it’s unique personality and is fascinating to watch, even though the indigrients remain the same.
But for some of them to see the real spectacle one has to travel in time in a way. The easier ones erupt in relative short intervals, such as half an hour. So they can be caught in a “drive by”. Others like the famous “Old Faithful” with in interval of about one and a half hour and a relative precise repetition are catchable too – you can always get the time through by strolling around in the huge souvenir shop. But the “Great Fountain”, which is erupting rarely and very irregularly is a difficult catch. As it’s supposed to be one of the most impressive eruptions, let’s take a seat and wait…
… and wait …
… and wait …
… and with no more daylight left and the geyser still not willing to accept the time schedule setup by the park rangers, that particular happening has to take place another day.
