Solitary Geyser Details
Originally known as Solitary Spring, this new thermal feature was created when water was diverted to fill a swimming pool and the water tables were lowered enough to cause eruptions. Although water levels have since been restored, eruptions still continue to happen, measuring six feet in height and occur every four to eight minutes. The only thermal feature in the area, this geyser is located above Upper Geyser Basin, and is accessible via Observation Point Trail.
