Fly Geyser
A surreal, technicolor geyser in the desert
A continuously spouting geyser of mineral-stained red and green mounds, born from a drilling accident on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. It sits on private Fly Ranch — you can only see it on a guided nature walk, which keeps it pristine.

The dripping, algae-colored cones.
