Insider Guide to Yellowstone
Following the 1959 Hebgen Lake Earthquake, Sapphire Pool erupted, blowing away biscuit-like deposits around the pool which originally gave Biscuit Basin its name.
The Old Faithful area is about one hour on foot from Biscuit Basin.
Along the way, you can admire numerous active and dormant geysers and pools, including: Grotto Geyser, Giant Geyser, Chromatic and Beauty Pools, Castle Geyser and Geyser Hill.
At the end of the day, drive to the Old Faithful Inn, have dinner and relaxing in front of the giant fireplace in the historic lodge.
If you are visiting Yellowstone in the winter, the Old Faithful Inn is closed. You can stay at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel which is open in the winter.
