Baby Daisy Geyser

Quick Facts
Location:
Old Faithful Area

Baby Daisy Geyser is a small orange pool with solidified sinter covering the surrounding area, forming a small rim around the pool and a runoff channel. The center of the pool drops into a deep vent. Baby Daisy Geyser is named after its low angle eruption resemblance to the larger eruptions from Daisy Geyser, but the most recent eruption occurred in 2004.

Baby Daisy Geyser has an average temperate of 146.1°F (63.4°C), an average pH of 7.6, and an average conductivity of 1234 uS/cm.

Geysers

Geysers have constrictions in their plumbing systems that prevent water from moving freely to the surface where heat would escape. Water beneath the constrictions creates a buildup of steam. Eventually the steam pushes water past the constrictions and the geyser erupts.

Use Caution in Hydrothermal Areas

  • Stay on boardwalks and designated trails.
  • Hydrothermal water can severely burn you.
  • Never run, push, or shove.
  • Supervise children at all times.
  • Do not scratch hydrothermal mats.

You are responsible for your safety.

Think safety, act safely. Yellowstone is a dangerous place.
