About this postcard

A view of Grotto Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, its sinter cone forming two large arches over a crater, with a hot spring pool in the foreground, conifers behind, and a small painted sign listing eruption times at the right. Grotto Geyser is one of the park's notable geysers, known for the unusual cone shape that gives it its name and for eruptions that can last from minutes to many hours. The sign in the picture reflects the early practice of posting predicted eruption times for visitors.
