    Old Faithful is the most recognized name in all of Yellowstone National Park. This cone geyser erupts every 60 to 100 minutes and sprays water up to 185 feet in the air. Each eruption lasts between 2 to 5 minutes and can expel up to 8,000 gallons of water. The geyser is located just a short walk from the parking lot and is easily accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.

      Probably the easiest way to visit a geyser - due to the reliable eruption times. The nearby visitor center lists the approximate breakout times

        This is probably the icon of the Yellowstone National Park. The geyser offers and incredible show once it goes off and it's timed to do so every 70-100 minutes and it's been historically accurate in that matter which is just amazing! Enjoy the show!
