Fun Facts

Lone Star Geyser erupts approximately every three hours, sending water and steam up to 45 feet in the air.

Unlike many geysers in Yellowstone, Lone Star is located in a more secluded area, accessible by a 2.5-mile hike or bike ride from the nearest parking area.

The geyser has built up a 12-foot high cone over the years, made from siliceous sinter deposits.

Lone Star Geyser has been a point of interest since the late 19th century, with early visitors documenting its eruptions.

It is one of over 500 geysers in Yellowstone, which hosts the largest concentration of geysers in the world.
