[Geysers] Tangled Creek area -- "Spire Geyser"

[Pat Snyder]

Hello Dave.
Welcome to the Geyser List.

Your picture is of is Kaleidoscope Geyser, the namesake for the Kaleidoscope Group, which is a large group of geysers quite some distance behind Clepsydra Geyser. I also remember Kaleidoscope being active that day last year, I was at the Fountain Geyser eruption later that afternoon, and have Kaleidoscope Geyser written in my notebook (Kaleidoscope erupts in series when active.) Kaleidoscope is a beautiful geyser! Nice photo capture of it! 

Spire Geyser, however, is along Firehole Lake Drive, just beyond White Dome Geyser. As you drive past Great Fountain Geyser, White Dome is the next major feature on the left, where the road curves to the right (and, in recent times, there's been a small gravel patch there as well).

Thanks.
Pat Snyder

> Hi, I am a newcomer here and have been intrigued by the discussion on Spire geyser.  I was in the Lower Geyser Basin on September 9, 2011 and saw an unknown (to me and the Ranger I asked about it) geyser.  I have been wondering what is was so I have attached a picture for help in identifying it.  Is that Spire in the distance in front of the group of trees?  I do not know the exact time but estimate it was about 12 PM.
