Fun Facts

Jewel Geyser erupts approximately every 7 to 10 minutes, making it one of the most predictable geysers in the park.

The geyser is named 'Jewel' due to the sparkling droplets it emits during eruptions, resembling scattered jewels.

It is located in the Biscuit Basin, which is known for its colorful hot springs and active geysers.

The basin was named for biscuit-like formations that were destroyed by an earthquake in 1959.

Each eruption lasts about 2 minutes, providing a quick yet captivating display of geothermal activity.
