Twin Geysers
Description
Twin Geysers—one geyser with two vents—has short periods of dramatic eruptions and extended periods of dormancy. After a 23-year dormancy, it began erupting again in 1998; its last known eruption was in 1999. Visitors lucky enough to witness an eruption see a two-part event. The west vent erupts 70 feet (21 meters), then the east vent erupts more than 100 feet (30 meters).
