Old Faithful, located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, is one of the world's most famous geysers. Known for its predictable eruptions, this natural wonder attracts visitors from around the globe. Old Faithful erupts approximately every 90 minutes, shooting steam and boiling water up to 185 feet in the air.
The geyser is situated amidst a landscape filled with unique geothermal features, including hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. This geological marvel results from the Yellowstone Caldera, an ancient volcanic crater. Visitors can witness the geyser's powerful displays from the nearby viewing platform, set against a backdrop of forested mountains and expansive meadows.
Yellowstone, established in 1872 as the first national park in the world, offers more than just geysers. The park is home to diverse wildlife, including bison, elk, and grizzly bears, along with lush forests and pristine lakes.
