Gone to See America August 2010 Road Trip. Day 2: Crystal Geyser near Green River, Utah.
I returned 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. For a bigger eruption check out 11-May-2009.
