I've heard Castle Geyser in particular is known for having steam phase eruptions. Was it extremely loud? I've heard the steam phase can produce almost a roar when powerful enough.
We where there after 8:00 PM. Plume hasn't erupted in 10 years now, so it probably will not cooperate this season: geysertimes.org/geyser.php?id=Plume. On the other hand, the location I filmed this at is a great place to watch Old Faithful from because you can also keep an eye on Beehive, which IMO one of the best geysers in the world: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y8gLhHzPY5M.html. Enjoy you visit!
Thanks for your comment. If you happen to go to the Park again, here are a few things you can do in improve your chances of seeing Beehive and the others that are sometimes hard to catch. #1: Go to the Geysertimes.org database and look for Beehive's current eruption trends. Here the link: geysertimes.org/geyser.php?id=Beehive #2: Carry a two-way radio tuned to channel 4.5 or 4.05. This is the both the Visitor Center's channel and the GOSA (Geyser Observation Study Association) channel. It's used by the "geyser gazers" who monitor the Upper Geyser Basin activity and populate the database linked above. If you hear one of the following over the radio, you have approximately 15-minutes to either get to Geyser Hill or at least within viewing distance of Beehive: "Water in Indicator's vent" (with occurs about 1 to 2-minutes before indictor's eruption), and "Eruption of Indicator" (which gives gazers about 15-minutes (but no promise) advance notice of Beehive's eruption). During this year's Fall visit to Yellowstone, I was able to catch 5 of the 7 eruptions of Beehive that occurred from September 25 through October 1, 2022. Here's just one of them: ru-vid.comxwfhA1YYSKQ Dan
Generally it's about 15-minutes from the start of Indicator to the start of Beehive, but can be less, and occasionally Beehive goes off without Indicator erupting. If you go to the GeyserTimes database, you can track the history of Indicator and Beehive start times: geysertimes.org/.
A few years back by sheer dumb luck we just happened to be passing by when the indicator started spouting. A ranger who was there told us we should hang around. He was right. It was the highlight of my time in Yellowstone.
Wertvolle Energie die genutzt werden könnte... das wäre mein erster Gedanke... und da springen bestimmt einige viele Watts raus an Energie...in welcher Form auch immer...
Glad you enjoyed. This was a fairly rare event. In his book, "The Geysers of Yellowstone, Fifth Edition," T. Scott Bryan states, "Opal Pool is a significant geyser, but its eruptions are rare and exceedingly brief. No activity was known until 1947, when Opal played several times to as high as 50 feet. Similar action occurred in 1949 and 1954, but then nothing further was seen until 1979. Many seasons go by without eruptions being observed. The most recent activity occurred as a series on the single day of September 23, 2014. Most modern eruptions are less than 30 feet high, though some estimated at 70 to 80 feet were reported years ago. No matter what the size, the play is often only a single, virtually instantaneous burst of water. Sometimes successive bursts a few seconds apart stretch the total duration to 1 minute. During the minutes to hours before an eruption, strong convection is visible over the vent, but this can also happen without resulting in an eruption."
This looks like a lava domeBut it spits out water and steam and it has an irrupt it for 1 million years so then he just spits out water and steam extremely fast
I plan to do this run at the beginning of March. How hard is it to follow the path? I notice you passed several splits and they look to be marked, but with small signs. I don't want to end up on a harder trail - I could probably get through an easy blue but don't want to risk anything more serious.
The tails at Park City are fairly well marked, but to make sure know exactly where your going, pick up a trail map -- available at various location around the resort -- before heading up the hill. You can also use the following trail map link: assets.vailresorts.com/-/media/park-city/products/brochure/the-mountain/about-the-mountain/trail-map/1819_pc_trailmapart_sitecore.ashx?la=en. Homerun is on the left side of the map -- look for the upper Pioneer or Bonanza lift stations and follow the trail from there.
Hello Daniel, we are interested in possibly licensing some footage from this for a commercial. Would you mind getting back to me at brandi@stalkr.com so I can give you more details? Thanks! Brandi
From the resort’s base, take the Payday lift, followed by the Bonanza lift the the top of the mountain. This is where most people access the Homerun trail. If you want to do the full length as shown in the video, start skiing down Homerun from the Bonanza lift station and turn right down the Mid-Mountain run; this will take you to the Pioneer lift station. Take the Pioneer lift back to the top of the mountain and to the beginning of the Homerun trail. Check out the trail map in Park City’s web site and this should all make sense. Have fun and be safe.
