- in a good sweep - when we
are at Grand Geyser, we can watch it then wander into the historic </div><div>1897 Klamer/Lower Ham's store for a grilled cheese to go and then </div><div>make it to Great Fountain in the same hour. Of course, you must be </div><div>parked in front of the gas station or Ham's store :) Sometimes, you can </div><div>be graced by also catching Fountain Geyser.
