Old Faithful is the most recognized name in all of Yellowstone National Park. This cone geyser erupts every 60 to 100 minutes and sprays water up to 185 feet in the air. Each eruption lasts between 2 to 5 minutes and can expel up to 8,000 gallons of water. The geyser is located just a short walk from the parking lot and is easily accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.
