This is the perfect spot to snap a group photo amidst the beauty of Yellowstone’s geothermal wonders.
See the world's most famous geyser
3rd stop: Old Faithful
No Yellowstone trip is complete without seeing Old Faithful, the park’s most famous and reliable geyser. This spectacular geyser erupts like clockwork, providing a dramatic experience. You’ll also have the chance to grab a coffee or check out the gift shop at the historic Old Faithful Inn which is one of the largest log-style structures in the world and was built in 1903-1904.
Explore the most densely concentrated geyser region in the world
Final stop: Upper Geyser Basin
End your day at the Upper Geyser Basin, an area that is often overshadowed by its most popular attraction: Old Faithful. However, this awe-inspiring location is home to over 150 geysers and is the most densely concentrated geyser region in the world!
