This burst of minerals eventually accumulates and settles into a growing travertine mound. It is this mound that forms the Fly Ranch or Fly Geyser. Not just a mound, this attraction also has another uniqueness because of its color that resembles a rainbow.

The color of the rainbow is a high mineral content, eventually many algae grow and emit color pigments. The algae emits red, yellow, green, and orange colors on an artificial pile of Fly Geysers.
