This was a surprise for us. The ride to the geyser was nice and the colors of the geyser flow to the river beautiful. It does not take long to get there and we recommend making this a spot to visit
I do not feel it was worth the drive. The pool was more like a pond than a geyser with little to view. It is secluded for a "off the highway" break/lunch.
Perhaps, after seeing Yellowstone, my standards are set too high. There's not much to see here other than orange travertine and a thick metal pipe sticking out of the ground, plus much of the travertine was damaged from people walking on it. It's quite off the beaten path. Ask for directions at the John Wesley Powell River Museum on 1765 East Main Street in Green River first. The staff there will have a flyer to give you and may even direct you to petroglyphs or hikes to more interesting sites in the area.
It was easy driving and easy walking. The quiet was amazing. Go in late afternoon for the best light,
Very cool to see and read about how it works and the high percentage of minerals it deposits into the river and eventually Lake Powel. I don’t like crowds and fences when touring, so this was great.
Really different than what you expect to see in the region. Kind of a pain to get to but interesting when you arrive. Good place to get some good pics. No facilities.
The cold geyser "goes off" twice a day, every 12-16 hours. Therer are folks drove an RV to wait for it. For the travelers who cannot do the extended waiting, the geyser "bubbles up" every 15-30 minutes when we were there.Cold water geyser is very rare, and the mineral deposits here have a very similar pattern with the ones in the Yellowstone. Except for the unrestticted and direct access. We saw people who left after stood need the pool of water. Don't forget to follow the flow of water to the river and observe the deposits from the river bank, it's amazing especially during the sunset.
Even without experiencing it blowing – and it seems it isn’t doing it right now, even though all the information says twice a day - this is a place not to be missed when staying in Green River. It’s near town and can be accessed by any car – you need no 4WD and no high clearance. The different colors of the dissolved minerals and elements flowing from the blowhole down to the edge of the river are a sight to see indeed, forming a bizarre tapestry of scurrilous forms and designs. When we were there the geyser did gush gently and water came flooding across the apron of the flow zone. Don’t miss this; it’s fascinating.
This is a cold water Geyser. The setting is spectacular right on the green river. The Geyser itself has left a beautiful red settlement on landscape
Was along drive to see a geyser that used to flow more then it does. You really have to watch the signs. Not well mapped out
