Visiting the Upper Geyser Basin (Old Faithful Geyser)
® Visiting the Upper Geyser Basin (Old Faithful Geyser) The Old Faithful Area (Upper Geyser Basin) is one of the most popular and crowded areas in the Summer. Start off with a visit to the new visitor’s center. Tour the center, but most importantly check the information desk for the estimated eruption times of pop - ular geysers in the basin. (Note that they are estimated times... so plan accordingly). Beat the crowds by starting early in the morning before those who did not sleep in the area arrive. Walk around the geyser basin and witness numerous well-known features; Old Faithful, Beehive, Castle, Grotto, Riverside & Morning Glory Pool to name a few. The cool morning air temperature intensifies the steam making the basin more magical. By mid-morning the Summer crowds get larger as the day goes until sunset. (When the area gets congested... head to the hills!, and take the hikes in the back country.) You’ll never get to see all the geysers erupt and will have to pick and chose those you want to invest with your time and how long younger family members can hold out. Prep your walk with a bathroom break and pack bottled beverages. Touring the basin takes time and before you know it you have walked a few miles. (For those in need there is a no frills bathroom near Morning Glory Pool.) Upper Geyser Basin Sites of Interest: 1. Walk through the new Visitor’s Center (opened in the Summer of 2011) 2. Tour the Upper Geyser Basin Boardwalk Upper Geyser Basin is the best place in Yellowstone to see geysers erupt. -
