Crystal Geyser Dispersed Camp

7 miles off the highway south of Green River Utah is a cool little geological feature. When most people think about geysers, they picture a Yellowstone- like hot spring where pressure from steam sends a tall column of water into the air. In Utah, however, several “geysers” erupt due to the same process that causes soda pop to shoot out of the can when you hold your finger over the lid and shake it. Although technically not true geysers, these cold-water eruptions look so much like hot-water geysers that they are referred to as “soda pop geysers.” In Utah, the largest of these is Crystal Geyser. You can camp here, and if you want to see the geyser, you may have to wait up to 24 hours - sometimes it blows at night. The spots are simple, with campfire rings. The road in is dirt but doable by anything. It might be hard to turn a big rig around though.
