Geyser
Country is home to the famous
Old Faithful geyser. Visit the Old Faithful Visitor
Center to watch an informative film on geysers and their
eruptions.
Old
Faithful. The best known and
most visited feature in the park, even though it is
not the largest or most regular, is Old Faithful. Thousands
of gallons of steamy water erupt into the sky an average
of every 79 minutes. During more than 120 years of observation,
Old Faithful has rarely missed an eruption.
Norris
and Firehole River Geyser Basins.
The largest display of geysers are located just 21 miles
south of Mammoth Hot Springs at Norris Geyser Basin.
The world's tallest geyser, Steamboat, has unpredictable
eruptions. One of the favorites during the summer is
Echinus Geyser, which erupts every 20 - 80 minutes and
sends a cool mist of water over the viewing platform.
Grand
Prismatic Spring.
This is Yellowstone's largest hot spring at 370 feet
in diameter. The name comes from the deep blue color
of the pool, combined with the rings of yellow and orange
colored bacteria, which create the look of a prism.
Morning
Glory Pool. This
beautiful deep blue pool is named after its resemblance
to the morning glory flower.
