[Geysers] Geyser Activity at Canyon?

[Karen Webb]

We always look when we hike around Canyon for the thermal features Scott 
mentions in his book, but the only think I've ever seen other than the 
few features on the way to 7 Mile Hole is something that looked like a 
small fumarole directly beneath Artist Point and very close to the 
river's edge (so it would likely be hidden at times of high water. I am 
also curious, so you're not alone in wanting to know about observations 
in this area.

Its eruptions sometimes span the Yellowstone River, and appear as a ghostly bridge of spray and steam, hence the name.
