OLD FAITHFUL REGION

Current Weather & Forecasts for the Old Faithful Region 

     The Old Faithful Region of Yellowstone has - well, you guessed it, Old Faithful Geyser. Now that we've stated the obvious, there are days worth of other sights to see and activities to do in the Old Faithful Region. A walk around the Upper, Black Sand, Biscuit, and Midway Geyser Basin boardwalks will guide you through thermal areas with impressive hot springs and geysers, while interactive displays at the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center give you a better understanding of these magma-powered spectacles.

     The Old Faithful area has been a major attraction to visitors since before the park was established. The Old Faithful Inn serves as an historical icon for Yellowstone's early concessionaires and still provides a good night's rest for park visitors today. Other lodging options in this region are the Old Faithful Lodge Cabins and the Old Faithful Snow Lodge, both within short walking distance of the Upper Geyser Basin and Old Faithful geyser.

     You can rent bicycles at the Bear Den Gift Shop located inside the Old Faithful Snow Lodge, take a scenic drive on the Firehole Lake Drive, and view roadside waterfalls to fill your day. Keep your eyes peeled on your journey through this region because elk and bison are often seen grazing on the side of the road. Popular waterways in this region attract fishermen from all around, and sometimes an Osprey or two.
