Beehive Geyser — Attraction in West Yellowstone

We were just walking and some kind gentleman told us to wait and look at this. So we decided to wait. This is one of the best experiences at Yellowstone. The water gusing out was amazing and it felt like you were right in front of a rocket engine. The viewing point is very close to the geyser so you can hear it quite well.

He told me that Beehive is about to go off and it only goes off once a day if that. Then, on his radio Central Control at the Park said "Beehive is about to go clear area" a d welp...here is the video of the beautiful rare to see...
