Pink Geyser was named after the pink color of its cone, the same color as Pink Cone and Narcissus Geysers indicating that three of the are tied together though the seem to have little affect on each other. Pink Geyser seems to be susceptible to Seismic activity. Before the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake, it only erupted twice a day. Following the quake, its interval shortened to between 5 and 7 hours.
