UPPER GEYSER BASIN TRAILS

Trailhead: Boardwalk in front of Old Faithful Visitor Center
Distances: Several miles of trails, including a loop to the east and one to the west
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Although Old Faithful Geyser, the most famous geyser in the park, is located in this area, the trails oriented around Old Faithful Village offer the opportunity to see many other interesting geysers, such as Castle, Beehive, Firehole, and Daisy, as well as Morning Glory Pool.  These short easy trails are handicap accessible.  Trail guides are available in the Visitors Center.  In addition to thermal features, bison and elk frequent the area.  Be sure to keep your distance from the wildlife!
