Upper Geyser Basin, Geyser field in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US.

The Upper Geyser Basin contains over 250 geysers spread across 2 square miles, forming the largest concentration of geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park.

The Washburn Expedition of 1870 documented this natural area, naming Old Faithful for its regular eruptions occurring every 45 to 90 minutes.

Native American tribes recognized the thermal features of this region long before European settlers, considering these lands sacred and significant.

The Old Faithful Visitor Center provides real-time predictions for five major geysers, allowing guests to plan their exploration of the 1.5-mile accessible boardwalk.

Castle Geyser exhibits a distinctive cone formation built up over thousands of years, followed by extended steam phases after water eruptions.
