Young Hopeful Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
Young Hopeful Geyser is part of the Black Warrior Group which includes Artesia Geyser, Gray Bulger Geyser, and Steady Geyser. Young Hopeful is a collection of several vents which, depending on the seasonal water table, erupt either continuously or intermittently. The vent nearest Firehole Lake have gone dormant while the ones near the boardwalk trail have become more active. The two largest vents often reach about 2 feet (0.61 m) but sometimes surge to 6 feet (1.8 m).
Famous quotes containing the words young and/or hopeful:
“Those of us who are in this world to educate—to care for—young children have a special calling: a calling that has very little to do with the collection of expensive possessions but has a lot to do with the worth inside of heads and hearts. In fact, that’s our domain: the heads and hearts of the next generation, the thoughts and feelings of the future.”
—Fred M. Rogers, U.S. writer and host of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. “That Which is Essential Is Invisible to the Eye,” Young Children (July 1994)
“To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
