Old Faithful is the most popular attraction of Yellowstone National Park. Old Faithful is the centerpiece of the part, to truly experience all that Old Faithful has to offer, get out and walk the boardwalks. There are many natural wonders that you won't forget.

This famous geyser got its name because of its punctuality and predictability. Old Faithful erupts more frequently than other large geysers. Contrary to popular belief Old Faithful is not the largest geyser in the park. Eruptions at Old Faithful last anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes, and sprays water and steam up to 184 ft vertically. The average interval of Old Faithful was every 76 minutes. An earthquake occurring in the winter of 1998 affected the time interval of Old Faithful. Eruptions now occur approximately every 80 minutes.
