History

Pink Cone Geyser was named by the Hayden Survey. The geyser's siliceous sinter cone is a dark pinkish-red attributed to manganese oxide and iron oxide staining. Similar coloration occurs at some nearby geysers, including Pink Geyser and Narcissus Geyser. This indicates a common water chemistry, but their behaviors do not affect each other.[4]
