Castle Geyser

Discovered in 1870 by the Washburn Expedition, Castle Geyser in Yellowstone National Park earned its name from the tower-like shape of its crater, which the explorers likened to a castle. Over time, much of this stoic structure has eroded, but the geyser remains an impressive sight. Visitors can still witness a 90-foot (27-meter) column of boiling water erupting with regular frequency, offering a vivid display of the park’s geothermal activity. The geyser’s enduring presence and periodic eruptions continue to captivate those who venture to this iconic location.
