the core of a volcano exposed from erosion. It is located in the Black
Hills in Crook County, Northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche
River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain

Fly Geyser isn't a real geyser, but is the result of drilling a well and
hitting hot water. It erupts continuously and has built up a cone of
minerals around the pipes that were part of the original well about 100
years ago. The colors are from various heat tolerant microorganisms like
those living in hot springs in places like Yellowstone.
