Day Hikes in the Old Faithful Area National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Old Faithful Day Hikes Yellowstone National Park Welcome to the Old Faithful Area Numerous trails suitable for short or extended hikes into Yellowstone’s backcountry begin in the Old Faithful area. This guide introduces you to several trails selected by park rangers. Always carry rain gear, extra food and water, and other emergency equipment when venturing into the backcountry. Be sure to obtain current trail condition and bear activity information at the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center. Cautions North To Madison Hydrothermal areas: The thin ground in these areas breaks easily, and often overlies scalding water. Stay on the trail. Hiking trail described Trail not described All Wildlife: You must stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves; and at least Queen’s Trail / Road open to hiking and biking 25 yards (23 m) away from all other animals— Laundry including birds. Roads Bears: Although your chance of an Visitor Center encounter is low, your safety is not guaranteed. Minimize your risks by making loud noises, shouting, or singing. Hike in groups and use caution where vision is obstructed. Carry bear spray Fairy and know how to use it. Do not hike after dark. Falls r e v Avoid carcasses; bears often defend this food i source. R le o Fishing: Anglers must have a Yellowstone h re i National Park fishing permit in their possession. F Mallard Consult the park newspaper for purchase Mystic Observation Lake locations.

  • 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.

  • Yellowstone National Park to See What We Could See
    Earl’s Diary - Wednesday - May 5, 2013 Dear Loyal Readers; !This is the day we were going back to Yellowstone National Park to see what we could see. In my last report I mentioned we were staying at an RV park in Victor, Idaho. It was 102 miles back to Yellowstone where we were going to catch our tour bus. !Michele and I left Victor at 6:00am to make the bus in time at 9:15. (6:00am, Egads! That’s early!!!!) Since this is my first visit to Yellowstone, I really wanted to see all the (hot) spots in the park. !We arrived in plenty of time and were eager to climb aboard with the twenty-six other site-seers. This was to be a nine or ten hour trip around the lower loop of the park. (The main park road is like a figure 8.) We were scheduled to see most of the really BIG attractions. !Our driver/guide was Lucas. He announced he was from Georgia. I noticed a distinct non-southern accent and asked about it. He said his family moved to Georgia when he was 12, hence, no southern accent. He was 28 years old and this was his third year at Yellowstone. He was very conversant and made a good guide. His college degree in geology helped in explaining some of the geological features of the park. Our first stop was at Lake Lodge, one of the very earliest “luxury” lodges in the park. It has a beautiful view of Yellowstone Lake. Yellowstone Lake is the largest body of water in Yellowstone National Park.

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S.
