Turban Geyser

Turban Geyser is a hot spring fountain in Yellowstone National Park that erupts regularly throughout the day. The hot water shoots upward in a fountain pattern at predictable intervals, creating a continuous display of geothermal activity.

The geyser was named in 1872 by Dr. A.C. Peale, who noticed the mineral deposits surrounding its vent. The appearance of these mineral formations resembled a wrapped head covering, inspiring the name.

Native American communities utilized the geothermal resources of the Yellowstone region for generations before the establishment of the national park system.

The geyser erupts at regular intervals throughout the day, allowing visitors to observe multiple eruptions during a short visit. Plan to spend a moderate amount of time here if you want to see the full display of its water jets.

The hot water at this geyser reaches temperatures around 82 degrees Celsius, creating visible steam formations. These steam clouds interact with nearby geysers, creating a dynamic geothermal display.
