Upper Geyser Basin is Home to the Old Faithful and Other Spectacular Geysers

Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park is home to the majority of the world's active geysers. Every visitor to Yellowstone stops for a glimpse of the Old Faithful, one of the most famous geysers in the world.

Attractions in the Upper Geyser Basin are connected with an elaborate system of boardwalks which lead visitors near colorful pools and geysers at a safe distance.

After watching the Old Faithful erupt, continue on the boardwalk across Firehole River up Geyser Hill where you can admire Anemone Geyser, Beehive Geyser, Lion Group and the Heart Spring.

After Geyser Hill, the path leads through the Castle-Grand Area which received its name after two prominent geysers: Castle Geyser and Grand Geyser.

The boardwalk continues to the Giant-Grotto Area, Morning Glory-Riverside Area and ends up at Biscuit Basin.
