Tag Archives: Lone Star Geyser

Labor Day weekend starts today—and what better way to spend it than in Yellowstone National Park?

In our experience, the most popular geysers in Yellowstone National Park tend to be the most predictable ones.

A simple mechanism — side chambers, or loops in the underground plumbing — is what causes Yellowstone geysers to regularly erupt, according to work from a University of California, Berkeley researcher.

The summer season is winding down, which means the arrival of another seasonal presence in Yellowstone: road construction.

With its fairly regular eruption cycle and prominent ten-foot tall cone, Lone Star Geyser is one of the standout geysers in Yellowstone. How is it, then, that it hasn’t become a major attraction on par with Old Faithful? Part of the problem, perhaps, is that you can’t drive to it.
