What to expect
Old Faithful is a geyser located in Yellowstone National Park, known for its consistent and predictable eruptions. It is one of nearly 500 geysers in the park and is a popular tourist destination. The geyser erupts approximately every 90 minutes, expelling 3,700-8,400 gallons of boiling water and reaching heights of 106-184 feet. Visitors can watch the eruptions from the Old Faithful viewing area or along the boardwalks that weave around the geyser and through the Upper Geyser Basin. The area surrounding Old Faithful is also home to other geothermal features, including hot springs and geysers, and offers a unique opportunity to explore the park's geologic history. The Old Faithful Inn, a historic log hotel, is also located in the area and offers accommodations and amenities for visitors. The park provides wheelchair-accessible walkways and designated trails, making it accessible for families with children. It is essential to exercise caution when visiting the hydrothermal areas, as the water can be extremely hot and cause severe burns
