Description
Crystal Geyser was an accidental result of early mining attempts along the Green River.
It is a rare example of a cold water carbon dioxide driven geyser.
This is the first time in three trips I have seen water flow. We did not get to see it erupt however.
The first written record of Crystal Geyser comes from the report of the Powell Geographic Expedition of 1869, July 13, 1869:
"We stop to examine some interesting rocks, deposited by mineral springs that at one time must have existed here, but which are no longer flowing..."
