It has been capped and generally is uncapped manually on the hour, because unlike other geysers that stop and start naturally, the geyser at Soda Springs kept on spraying continuously and was in danger of ruining the local's main tourist attraction by running out of carbon dioxide gas to power it after it was first drilled into in 1937. Hence it is now capped to preserve the gas, and is uncapped when the tourists need a show. On windless days the geyser is reported to reach heights of between 100 and 150 feet. 9/ The oldest brick church in Idaho is Saint Stanislaus Church which can be found in Rathdrum. 10/ The state fish of Idaho is the Cutthroat Trout.
