West Triplet Geyser is the largest of three closely-spaced vents, but for most of the time is not particularly interesting to look at, being dry, surrounded by a dull white, gravelly sinter ring, 15 feet in diameter. It does however occasionally (once or twice a day) erupt to a height of 10 feet, the activity being connected to the nearby and much bigger
Grand Geyser. The other components are East Triplet and North Triplet, both of which have much smaller vents.
