Unlike Old Faithful where there were hundreds and hundreds of tourists (so you end up taking 20 photos of the back of some random guy’s head trying to capture the eruption ), this geyser had eight people waiting.
This is probably because it was two and a half miles to get there in the hot sun and the mosquitoes and horse flies made it their mission to land on us.
We waited 50 minutes and it was spectacular.
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
