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:
“The presence of a grandparent confirms that parents were, indeed, little once, too, and that people who are little can grow to be big, can become parents, and one day even have grandchildren of their own. So often we think of grandparents as belonging to the past; but in this important way, grandparents, for young children, belong to the future.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“Scatter my ashes, strew them in the air:
Lord since thou know’st where all these atoms are,
I’m hopeful thou’lt recover once my dust,
And confident thou’lt raise me with the just.”
—James Graham Marquess of Montrose (1612–1650)
