UPDATE: Location Revealed
Crystal Geyser is located on the eastern bank of the Green River approximately 3.5 miles downstream from Interstate 70. It is a geologically unusual site to visit, as it is a cold-water, carbon-dioxide-driven geyser as opposed to the geothermal geysers you would see at Yellowstone. In the past, Crystal Geyser’s eruptions were notably higher and more frequent than what they are today. As seen in the video the entire area is draped with beautiful travertine (calcium carbonate) which makes it a gem of a place to put on your bucket list.
