Riverside Geyser stands on the bank of the Firehole River in the Upper Geyser Basin, and it is unusual among Yellowstone's geysers because its eruptions arc out over the water instead of rising straight up. Its jet can reach roughly 75 feet and typically erupts about every six hours, making it a favorite stop for visitors waiting on the basin's more famous features. Early visitors and photographers who came to the park in the late 1800s were drawn to such sights, and pictures like this one helped convince the public that the region's thermal wonders were worth protecting. Notice how the river and the steaming basin frame the column of water.
