Steamboat geyser is a rare treat to see in person during an eruption.
However, be warned, parking near the giant geyser can cause problems for your car.
Millions of people travel to Yellowstone National Park every year in hopes of seeing a geyser
erupt. The park has more geysers than any other place in the world, many named, many unnamed.
While some geysers like Old Faithful are predictable and fairly easy to see in person,
others are much rarer and completely unpredictable.
For example, Steamboat geyser is a rare treat to see in person during an eruption.
Steamboat geyser is the world's tallest active geyser, spewing water more than 300 feet into
the sky. Mud, sand, rock, and silica are thrown along with the water, including anything that
might have been in the geyser during the eruption. However, heavy rains have snapped trees,
covered sidewalks at the foot of the hill, and even covered cars in nearby parking lots.
One recent visitor learned that the hard way. Yellowstone National Park is warning visitors
about possible damage to cars from the Steamboat eruption, both online and with signs in the
parking lot.
