How to visitGuided walk by reservation only (Friends of Black Rock / Fly Ranch) — no roadside viewing

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.
