One of the highlights of the Yellowstone National Park, the Castle geyser erupts to a height of around 90 feet every 10-12 hours. The height of the geyser itself along with its shape, changes after every eruption that causes minerals to deposit around its opening.

The eruption stays for about 20 minutes and often you will find people waiting to see the hot water jet vertically into the air. The geyser was named in 1870 after resembling a Castle or Fort that is believed to have a greater eruption in the past than its current flow. However, even today, the bubbles and the steaming hot water are rather fierce and are best seen from a distance.
