Gone to See America August 2010 Road Trip. Day 2: Green River, Utah to Great Basin National Park, Nevada.
I went back to Crystal Geyser in the morning since I didn’t see it erupt the previous evening. The interesting thing about Crystal Geyser is that it is a cold geyser, powered by carbon dioxide. I did see a minor eruption, then hit the road for Great Basin National Park in Utah. I arrived at the Lehman Caves visitor center just in time for the final tour of the day.

What type of rock and what are the color changes in the rock? Is the light artificial or from openings? Aunt Mary

+Mary Sperley Light in the cave is all from artificial incandescent lights – so the rock color is probably lighter.
