Rusty Geyser

Rusty Geyser is a small (4 to 6 foot eruptions) found right at the entrance to the Biscuit Basin.  It was dormant until the big 1959 earthquake that hit the area, and has been quite active ever since.  It's named for the rusty-colored material found around it's pool.  It was erupting about every 3 or 4 minutes on this day in August, 2007.
