Old Faithful Geyser

Watching Old Faithful Geyser erupt is a Yellowstone National Park tradition, drawing people from all over the world to witness this geological wonder. The park’s wildlife and scenery might be as well-known today, but it was the unique thermal features like Old Faithful Geyser that inspired the establishment of Yellowstone as the world’s first national park in 1872. Watch eruptions from the Old Faithful viewing area or along the boardwalks that weave around the geyser and through the Upper Geyser Basin. When visiting Old Faithful, you can find when next eruption is predicted at the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center, at the lodges, in the NPS Yellowstone Geysers app, or on Yellowstone's geyser prediction Twitter feed.
