Bead Geyser Crater 1982...

Bead Geyser is located on the Firehole Lake Drive road in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone. It's one of the most regular geysers in Yellowstone.Back when I took this in 1982, Bead was erupting every 25 minutes , and scarcely deviating from that more than a minute or two.But what's more impressive than its 20 foot jetting eruption is the ornate formations and subtle colors of the crater.
