The colors are due to different mineral deposits as well as algae growing on it. . This geyser is called Fly Geyser and it's located approximately 20 miles (32 km) north of Gerlach, in Washoe County, Nevada. Fly Geyser is located on the private Fly Ranch owned by Todd Jaksick and is accessible only by a small private dirt road. The owner wanted to keep the people away from the geyser so he placed a high fence and a locked gate with several metal spokes on the top to keep trespassers out. Several organizations have tried to purchase the land for conservation, and make it open to the public, but have been denied.

 Located in Hualapai Valley north of Gerlach, Nevada, Fly Geyser is becoming known around the world for it’s unusual formation, vivid colors and unique beauty.

 In 1916, a shaft was drilled in hopes of striking water to turn part of this desert area into farmland. A geothermal pocket of water was struck resulting in a geyser of boiling water which turned the area into a desert wetland. Decades later in the 60's, the underground boiling water found a weak spot in the ground and a natural geyser was born.
