Yellowstone's unique geothermal activity powers Old Faithful's eruptions. The park sits on a super volcano, and its underground plumbing system creates incredible hydrothermal features like geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles.

Old Faithful is a cone geyser in Yellowstone National Park. This natural marvel erupts every 90 minutes on average, sending up to 8,400 gallons of boiling water into the air, reaching heights of 100 to 180 feet. Deep underground, water is superheated by volcanic activity, building pressure until it bursts through the earth’s surface. Old Faithful is more than a geyser— it’s a testament to the power of nature.

What makes Old Faithful special and dependable? And so consistent!
It's not the tallest geyser but it's one of the most reliable. Here is why:
*Height of eruptions: Between 32 to 56 meters. That's about as tall as a 15-story building!
*Water volume: It shoots up to 8,400 gallons of boiling water each time.
*Duration: Eruptions last between 1.5 and 5 minutes.
*Frequency: About every 90 minutes. It's not exactly on time, but park rangers post predictions on signs and apps.
