Box Spring, Geyser in Lower Geyser Basin, Wyoming, United States.
Box Spring is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin that shoots water up to 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 meters) high. The eruptions last from several seconds to a few minutes and occur at varying intervals.
Box Spring was first recorded as a hot spring in the 1870s. A powerful earthquake in 1983 changed its behavior and turned it into an active geyser.
Local tribes valued this thermal area for its healing properties and spiritual significance in their traditions. The hot water sources held importance in their ceremonial practices and daily life.
You can watch from the wooden boardwalks that give you a safe view of the eruptions. Since the intervals between eruptions vary, bring patience and time to wait.
This geyser belongs to the Pink Cone Group, a special cluster of thermal features with distinctive geological characteristics. The group shares unique mineral composition and thermal patterns that visitors rarely notice.
