Bubbling mud-pots, mysterious fumaroles and steam spewing geysers are what make Yellowstone National Park famous. Perched on top of the world's largest caldera, super-hot magma and ice-cold ground-water create the largest collection of active geysers in the world.
    This beehive shaped narrow cone, appropriately named Beehive Geyser, puts on quite a show in Yellowstone National Park shooting water and steam high into the air. Built-up mineral deposit around this fumarole have turned the Beehive into a grand performer, spewing water 180 feet into the air. The hot blast, kicking off only a few times a day, lasts four to five minutes.
    Beehive is one of eight geysers found on Geyser Hill. The most famous attraction of all, Old Faithful, is found adjacent to Geyser Hill and along the Firehole River. These unusual features seem to draw a crowd every day that the park roads are favorable. In West Yellowstone during late spring it's common to still have freezing temperatures and snow on the ground.
