West Triplet Geyser

West Triplet Geyser is a thermal spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, located within a system of geothermal features. The site sits in a larger cluster of active geysers and hot springs that together display the thermal activity of the region.

The spring showed regular eruption patterns in the early 20th century before its activity shifted over time. This change in the natural rhythm documents how geothermal systems evolve through different periods.

The geyser is part of a natural thermal landscape that visitors can observe and experience firsthand, showing how hot water and underground pressure interact. The surrounding area reveals the active geological forces that shape the Yellowstone region today.

Marked trails through the Upper Geyser Basin lead visitors to the spring and other nearby thermal features. Follow park guidance and maintain respectful distances to keep yourself and the surroundings safe.

The water temperature at this spring creates special conditions that influence how often and how forcefully eruptions occur. These thermal properties make the behavior of the spring less predictable than nearby geysers.
