The Old Faithful Area in Yellowstone National Park is Home to Spectacular Geysers
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Almost every visitor to Yellowstone National Park comes to see the Old Faithful erupt. During the peak season from June to August, the area is saturated with tour buses and cars. Everybody stops at the Old Faithful Inn to see its impressive 7-storey lobby, shop at the gift shop, check on geyser eruption predictions and eat lunch.
In addition to the Old Faithful Geyser, and Old Faithful Inn, the Old Faithful area includes a park visitor center, Old Faithful Snow Lodge and Old Faithful Lodge & Cabins.
While everybody lines up to watch the Old Faithful geyser erupt, fewer people decide to explore the area on foot. This area features numerous other spectacular geysers and other thermal features, connected by a boardwalk which allows visitors to enjoy the sights from a safe distance. In the summer, be sure to wear sunscreen, a hat and drink plenty of water.
Wildlife frequents the Old Faithful area, attracted by the warmth of thermal features during the cold nights. It is important to keep a safe distance and follow all ranger warnings to make your vacation a safe one.
Some of the must-see attractions include the Geyser Hill, the Grand Geyser and the Castle Geyser.
