Old Faithful & Upper Geyser Basin

The World's Most Famous Geyser

This live webcam looks out over Old Faithful, the legendary cone geyser that has erupted with clockwork regularity for over 150 years. Roughly every 35 to 120 minutes it sends a column of boiling water as high as 184 feet into the air above the Upper Geyser Basin.

Yellowstone's Geothermal Wonderland

The surrounding Upper Geyser Basin holds the densest concentration of geysers on Earth, a surface expression of the vast volcanic system beneath Yellowstone National Park. Pale sinter terraces, thermal runoff and the steady drift of geothermal steam trace the restless ground across the meadow.

A Historic Park Landscape

Framing the view, the timber-and-stone Old Faithful Inn and a network of winding boardwalks guide visitors through one of the first national parks ever established. Grizzly bears, bison and elk roam this wild, protected ecosystem at the heart of the Northern Rockies.
