Yellowstone Lake Volcano

Not really, but sure looks like a miniature volcano....

 

The Fishing Cone is a geyser in the West Thumb Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park.

 

The name Fishing Cone can be traced back to tales told by mountain men of a lake where you could catch a fish then immediately dunk it into a hot spring and cook it on the hook. Park visitors used to be allowed to fish off the cone as well but this activity is now prohibited. Would have been fun and so convenient.

 

Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
