Consisting of two large pools, Yellowstone's Midway Geyser Basin’s main attraction is undoubtedly Grand Prismatic Spring.
But Excelsior Geyser (or rather, its crater) is the first feature you pass on the boardwalk. A steaming body of teal waters running off into the Firehole River, Excelsior Geyser produces approximately 4,500 gallons of runoff per minute, which comes out to around 6 million gallons a day.
This beauty of this feature is typically hard to see due to the constant cloud of steam that hovers over it...........
But a little persistence and patience can provide a brief glimpse into its color and depths. This is how I saw it......
Thanks for taking a look. Comments are much appreciated.
Have a great Tuesday.
