The easiest way to get to Crystal Geyser is to go into Green River
and cross the river on the main drag. Just past the motel row, there
is a turn to the right that goes down around the old Utah Launch
Complex. It wanders and curves around for a few miles, then just
past the old meteorology site, another road crosses it. One way heads
up the hills about a mile to the north up to the old highway. Turn
right and head thru that small cut in the rocks. Once you get in
there about a mile, the road splits, with one going off toward the
ranch, the right turn there takes you along the south side of the
small clifflike stuff toward the river, where the geyser lives.
Someone kept filling the old pipe, so someone else blew the pipe
off pretty much at ground level. Don't get too close, some folks
think it is funny to drop big rocks into the geyser to see how
high they'll fly.
If you haven't been there in a while, the land is sorta puffed up
a bit with smaller secondary geysers around the bigger one, and if
the river is low, you can see the line of bubbles of the under-river
outlet for the gas geyser.
Fall is a good time for rock and bone hunting.
If you go down toward Hanksville, a coupla the big washes that
the highway dips down into have geodes and a blue/orange agate
bed upstream against the hills on the right.
