  • U. S. Department of the Interior U. S. Geological Survey
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY THE QUESTION OF RECHARGE TO THE GEYSERS AND HOT SPRINGS OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK Robert O. Rye 2AlfredH.Truesdell Open-File Report 93-384 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature *U.S. Geological Survey Box 25046, MS 963 Denver, CO 80225 2700 Hermosa Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 ABSTRACT The extraordinary number, size and unspoiled beauty of the geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park make them a national treasure. The hydrology of these special features and their relation to cold waters of the Yellowstone area are poorly known and in the absence of extensive, deep drillholes are only available indirectly from isotope studies. The 6D - 818O values of precipitation and cold surface and ground water samples fall close to the global meteoric water line (Craig, 1961). 6D values of monthly samples of rain and snow collected over the period 1978 to 1981 at two stations in the Park show strong seasonal variations, with average values for winter months close to those for cold waters near the collection site. 5D values of over 300 samples of cold springs, cold streams, and rivers collected during the fall since 1967 show consistent N-S and E-W patterns throughout and outside of the Park although values at a given site may vary by as much as 8%o from year to year. These data along with hot spring data interpreted earlier (Truesdell et al., 1977; Pearson and Truesdell, 1978), show that recharge to the Yellowstone thermal waters occurs at different levels.

Here at the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, you’ll find small-town Montana charm, natural splendor, and abundant wildlife. Our beautiful landscape—coupled with a colorful history of trappers, miners, and mountain men—make Gardiner a unique “home on the range” for visitors and residents alike. Split by the mighty Yellowstone River and nestled between the Absaroka-Beartooth and Gallatin mountain ranges, Gardiner is surrounded on all sides by approximately 10 million acres of public lands. Year round access to Yellowstone’s Northern Range, known as "the Serengeti of North America," truly differentiates Gardiner from other Yellowstone gateway communities.

  • Experience the Nez Perce National Historic Trail Through Yellowstone
    United States Department of Agriculture Through Yellowstone National Park Experience the Nez Perce Trail E NE C E R -M E P E - P Z O E O N N TM AT AIL ION C TR The Nez Perce AL HISTORI (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Designated by Congress in 1986, the entire Nez Perce National Historic Trail (NPNHT) stretches 1,170 miles from the Wallowa Valley of eastern Oregon to the plains of north-central Montana. The NPNHT includes a designated corridor encompassing 4,161 miles of roads, trails and routes. This segment of the Nez Perce National Historic Trail, Through Yellowstone National Park and the immediately adjacent Custer Gallatin National Forest, is one of eight available tours. These are available at Forest Service offices and visitor centers along the route (complete list on page 43). Each designated Auto Tour route stays on all-weather roads passable by all types of vehicles. If you are driving an RV or towing a trailer some side trips may not be appropriate. These will be noted in the driving directions. Many locations along all Auto Tour routes may not have cell phone coverage. Designate a contact person at home to communicate through. Check weather and road conditions before embarking on your journey. Call 511 for road condition reports on major routes. For current road conditions information inquire locally. The Flight of the Nez Perce The Summer of 1877 brought tragedy to the Nez Perce (or, in their language, Niimíipuu, meaning “the people”). Many of their tribe had been removed from homelands to a reservation.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1456 This page intentionally left blank Steamboat Geyser in major eruption. Photograph, purchased by the National Park Service and reprinted here with their permission, was taken nearly due north up the discharge stream of the double vents. Fluids from the vents are indistinguishable, and both vents are erupting mixed steam and pulsating water, evidently early in the eruption sequence because discharged water has not yet topped the bridge over the main discharge stream. Indicated height relative to largest trees is estimated to be nearly 100 meters. Date the photograph was taken is unknown, but was probably prior to 1968. Aerial view of Steamboat Geyser erupting. Photograph shows clearly the abundant flooding of most channels to the south, southwest, and west-southwest (toward photographer). Eruption plume of water and steam is inclined to the northwest at an angle of approximately 15° from vertical &nd reaches an estimated height of 130 meters or higher. Discharge from the southeastern vent is now mostly steam, as it has lost most of the jetted water evident in photograph on facing page. The water supply being discharged is tremendous-view is too high to estimate accurately, but prob­ ably about 20,000 liters per minute-and has probably continued at this high flow rate for at least 10 minutes.
