Noted for its geo-thermal activity, Yellowstone National Harbors many hot spots and geysers--the most famous of which is Old Faithful. Named in 1870, Old Faithful can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 gallons of boiling water up to 180 feet. The blast can last up to five minutes. Old Faithful gets its name from its consistent eruptions that happen every 45 to 90 minutes.
In addition to the abundant wildlife one can see in Yellowstone, Old Faithful makes a trip to one of the most renowned landmarks in the country well worth it.
