Yellowstone National Park- Old Faithful





Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the world. Yellowstone is a designated World Heritage Site and designated Biosphere Reserve. With an area of  2,219,791 acres (3,472 square miles or 8,987 square km) there is a lot to see.

Situated in the Upper Geyser Basin the Old Faithful is one of the most iconic attractions in Yellowstone National Park. The name comes from the fact that the geyser erupts 20 times per day in 60-110 minute intervals. But don't worry, there are posted prediction times all around the Old Faithful area. Old Faithful is a colossal geyser with eruption height varying from 100-180 feet and lasting 1.5 - 5 minutes. One eruption can expel 8,500 gallons of water. This is something you do not want to miss.

What a thrill to see Old Faithful in person! There were thousands of people there waiting for the eruption, and when it was over, thousands left to see other parts of the park and more people came to see the next eruption, So cool!!
