 1) Old Faithful / Upper Geyser Basin
– The name says it all. Old Faithful is the most popular attraction in Yellowstone,
and everyone who visits for the first time should watch this most famous of geysers erupt.
Although neither the highest or most regular geyser in the Park, it is spectacular.
Also, take an hour or two to walk around the boardwalks and visit some of the many other
geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin, such as Castle, Grotto, Riverside and Daisy. And
be sure to take the 1.4 mile walk to Morning Glory Pool, one of the most colorful thermal
features in all of Yellowstone. In addition, be sure to visit the Old Faithful Inn,
which is the single most impressive human structure in Yellowstone. And finally,
bison and elk can oftentimes be spotted grazing in the area.
