Old Faithful during one of its morning eruptions. Old Faithful erupts to a height of 105-184 ft. (32-56 meters), with an average interval of 76 minutes in between. The famous Old Faithful Lodge can be seen in the background to the left.
Plume Geyser was one of our favorite geysers because of its predictable and frequent eruptions (40 minutes), proximity to the boardwalk on Geyser Hill, and person-size eruption height. Be careful when walking past this one - it can surprise you with a sudden eruption!
Anemone Geyser, small but fun to watch.
The magnificent Castle Geyser. It's predictable twice-a-day eruptions make it very feasible to catch this one. It's long eruption (15-20 minutes) and subsequent steam phase make it one of the best shows in the park!
Castle Geyser erupts to a height of 66-82 ft. (20-25 meters).
