- We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 35th episode, we visit and experience the eruption of Crystal Geyser at Green River in Utah. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
Crystal Geyser is located on the east bank of the Green River approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 km) downstream from Green River, Utah, United States. It is a rare example of a cold-water carbon dioxide driven geyser; geothermal activity does not play a role in the activity of the geyser. The ground water near the geyser has significant quantities of dissolved carbon dioxide, along with substantial underground gas accumulations in the surrounding area. Saturation of the aquifer with CO2 creates enough pressure to force groundwater through the geyser and out on to the surface.
The geyser erupts sometimes to a height of 130 feet (40 m) or more. During 2005, a study of the timing of the eruptions found them to be bimodal. About 66% of eruptions in the study occurred about 8 hours after the previous eruption, and the rest about 22 hours after. The geyser erupts for an average of one hundred minutes a day, with eruptions either lasting 7-32 minutes, or 98-113 minutes. The bimodal distribution of eruptions is not a well-understood pattern, but is found in other geysers, both cold-water and otherwise.
Between eruption events, the water level is approximately seventeen feet below the surface of the geyser-at the level of the water table. In the preface to an eruption, water surfaces, fills the pond around the geyser, and begins to bubble. Bubbling events occur with increasing frequency in the time leading up to an eruption, but are not constant; bubbling events last for a few minutes, with a few minutes of calm in between. Bubbling events at the main geyser also frequently alternate with bubbling events at natural side-pools.
The current form of the geyser was created by an exploration well drilled in 1935 in attempt to locate oil. The well was originally 2,600 feet (790 m) deep, but an earlier owner of the land partially filled it in, meaning that the well is now only a couple hundred metres deep.
The area surrounding the modern geyser is covered in a thick layer of orange travertine. Near the river, adjacent to the modern orange travertine, are substantial deposits of white travertine, perhaps reflecting the original depositional environment of the geyser (before the exploratory well was drilled.)
The first written record of Crystal Geyser comes from the report of the Powell Geographic Expedition of 1869, July 13, 1869.

You guys are really good at finding interesting places to visit ..... thanks for sharing and safe travels :-)
Thank you! We are always looking for something less known but still interesting to visit. Something on the less beaten path. Hopefully one day we will do videos traveling Europe and Italy, our country to share with you something special 🚐🌏🌍🌎🚐😉👍
Wow! Non sapevo esistessero geyser d'acqua fredda! Fantastico! E bellissimi colori. Bravi!
Grazi mille! Noi anche in realtà non ne sapevamo molto prima di questa esperienza. Abbiamo scopreto i diversi tipi di geyser e non vediamo l'ora di vederne di altri tipi!
I've been to Moab a couple of times and never heard of this place... Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching ;)
Great Video, and drone video excellent, great fun, keep up the good work and have fun
Dominick Cizek Thank you very much Dominick! 🙏🏻😉✌🏻
Wow... viene.proprio voglia di immergersi! Qui fa caldissimo, questo video È RINFRESCANTE!!
What a super fun day! My next trip for sure! Looks like a lifechanging experience!
hahahahaha! Thank you Dario! Next time you can come with us! We are waiting for you! 🚐🌎🌍🌏🚐😉👍
waw beautiful place...you must have spent a good day there :)
Yes! We waited all day long for the eruption, and we stayed there for the night because was already sunset time when we finished making the videos. Was nice! And we made a campfire and a good barbecue 😆🚐🌎🌍🌏🚐😉👍
I admire your patience!!! What a beautiful landscape though, I can think of worse places to spend time waiting! 😄❤
I've seen this same geyser on other channels but it disappointingly wasn't erupting. THANK YOU for waiting 7 long hours to provide us with this footage. Great drone angles too!
informative, fun, beautiful -- fabulous! the land just grabs your heart! amazing videos!!!! loving you guys! :)
Thank you Deborah, you grab our hearts :)
Amazing Nature!
Yes absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, Crystal Geyser is not a natural geyser, we can't wait to see a natural one! Have you ever seen one?
Great video, what a neat place! Will put this on my must visit list. Great cinematography as well, thanks for sharing! Look forward to more adventures :) Just subbed :)
Thank you very much! Just uploaded a new adventure! 🚐🌏🌍🌎🚐😉👍
👍
🙏😉👍
What a fun day...’
Yeah, we didn't know what to expect from Crystal Geyser! Was a fun surprise. Have you ever seen a geyser eruption?
I got stranded there 15 years ago on a road trip with my mom and siblings. We got stranded in green river stay at a hotel. The maid of the hotel knew we were stranded so took us out to the geyser. It erupted and was so much fun
Beautiful
Ma come fate a trovare questi posti? Non avevo mai visto nulla del genere! Che belli i colori che si sono creati intorno al geyser! Bravi, bellissime immagini! 👍
Grazie mille Libera! Solitamente facciamo molta ricerca online (Sara è davvero brava in questo) ma in questo specifico caso, è stato un volantino che abbiamo trovato ad uno dei "visitor center" (uffici del turismo) e ce ne sono praticamente in tutte le cittadine turistiche. Il volantino non diceva molto ma ci siamo incuriositi e siamo andadi a scoprire di persona cosa fosse questo Crystal Geyser! 😆😉👍
Vi invidio 😄
hahahaha! Non è tutto oro quel che luccica! Ma fai bene 😆😄😜👋
I was stationed close to here in the Army for missile firings in 1975. A group of us went here one day but never saw it erupt. The road going to it went by our old barracks site and missile firing bunkers.
👍🇨🇦😃
So cool
Yeah, the geyser was a surprise! =D
No, I have never seen on, maybe someday
;)
Good job boys we did it again, who ever thought installing a pipe in the middle of the desert would attract anyone?
Next time we wait 14 hours before we push the button to activate the pump....do you think we should increase the pressure...wait nah they'll just have to be happy with 3 feet of water.
That's nice music
Now, that was worth the wait. Fortunately you guys did the majority of the waiting ;)
By the way, I'm curious how you keep this adventure afloat financially. I know you worked for two or three weeks in Canada at the restaurant but the amount you likely made there wouldn't seem like it would take you to where you are now. How do you do it?
Yes, in Canada we had a working holiday visa and we worked as construction workers and in restaurants, with that amount of money we were able to buy the truck, the camper, the drone and the car insurance. To inspire people to not be scared to travel and follow their dreams we left Italy with 1770 euro each th-cam.com/video/3jXjcBmTf4U/w-d-xo.html to show that everything is possible even with a small amount of money. When we arrived in Toronto we finished the money and we flew back to Italy where we stayed 4 months. We won a travel contest and we were able to sign 3 sponsorship contracts (Sara was a manager in the fashion industry and Luca was an influencer). We have a good numbers of followers on Instagram and we create contents for some brands. Unfortunately is not enough. We are working hard for creating the videos on YT but at the moment we are not earning enough money for all the effort and job we do. Free content isn't free and we are thinking to do Patron asap ;)
hey where are you guys from originally?
Is that drinkable ?
OMG
Were ARE you from?
We seen that along time ago my grampa showed us it before they ruind it with metal cage screen
HERE AT 6.22
No soaking pool? That's unfortunate!
🤷🤷🤷
It was better before the iron pipe
Oh god. Look at that man bun
😜👋😉👍
Does the camera person have parkinson's?
You have a brain?
