Northwestern Wyoming

After the Ranger finishes his talk I wait a little longer. It isn't 1:17pm yet but it's getting close.

Then on cue she erupts! It's amazing, not only her timeliness but also the size of the eruption itself. The eruption lasts about 2-3 minutes. If you ever come to Yellowstone, you have to see Old Faithful. And you won't have to wait long either cuz she's one reliable geyser.

After the eruption, I follow the migrating masses out to view the rest of the area's geysers.

Here's a map of the trail.

Infant Geyser. You know what they say, a geyser's gotta squirt, before it can splash, before it can erupt. This little tyke is probably in the first stage.
