Fun With Geysers

Today was nice out after all the snow. We were a bit too tired from work to get up the energy for a real hike so we just meandered the Upper Geyser Basin. We stumbled across a Ranger tour so we listened for a while. Apparently due to all the geyser runoff into Fire-hole river, Brown trout have adapted to the 80 degree water, and started spawning in the fall instead of spring.

We also learned that the Belgian spring was named for the Belgian man, who fell in it. There were a couple other springs people fell into as well. We got bored of grass talk and moved on by ourselves. Castle geyser stared erupting. It goes about once a day, but its less predictable than Old Faithful, which was also erupting. Castle erupts for about half an hour, and Old faithful for about 5 min. We have pictures of both at the same time! very exciting.
