What you'll see 🌄 Big views🚲 Bikes

Boardwalks and paved paths link Old Faithful with Castle, Grand, Riverside and Daisy geysers and Morning Glory Pool. Predicted eruption times for the six major geysers are posted at the visitor centre and on the park app.

Tips
Most people watch Old Faithful and leave. Walk out to Morning Glory Pool instead - two and a half miles round trip and it is the best hour in the park. Never step off the boardwalk; the crust is thin and people have died.
