Soda Springs Geyser
Today we took a drive to Soda Springs, ID, about an hour from Garden City. Soda Springs boasts the "largest captive geyser in the world." It was created in 1937 when drilling released it. It was then capped and regulated to erupt once an hour on the hour. We got to the park containing the geyser about 10 after the hour so we walked around the area, visited the small visitor center and then returned to watch the geyser erupt. It went off exactly on the hour preceded by a loud roar as the water rushed out of a pipe set in the ground. It was a great show and was well worth the trip!
