Summary

Album caption and index card: Crater of Beehive Geyser. On the opposite side of the river from Castle and Old Faithful. A very symmetrical cone, about 5 feet in height and 6 feet in diameter at its base. It is most beautifully beaded all over its exterior surface with small pearl-like drops of silica. Its eruptions are of great force, throwing a stream fully 200 feet in height, and holding it up with perfect steadiness for a period of from 10 to 15 minutes.
