Little Giant Geyser Details
Located in the Shoshone Geyser Basin, this generally inactive geyser comes form an interestingly orange-stained vent in the middle of the basin. Its unique orange coloring comes from high levels of iron in the water that seeps from it, however, little water is seen today. Once occasionally erupting between 15 and 20 feet in the air, it now occasionally splashes while the nearby Double Geyser erupts, although future eruptions are certainly possible.
