The Old Faithful and Other Geysers in Yellowstone

From our days in school, we've read about the Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone National Park, a natural geyser that spews water and steam (and H2S) at regular intervals giving it its name. I also distinctly remember seeing so many cartoons (especially Loony Toons) where the Old Faithful made a cameo - usually to erupt, causing an unsuspecting Wile. E. Coyote or Sylvester the Cat to get pushed dozens of feet into the air. The Old Faithful, along with the other numerous geysers dotting this seismically active landscape, remains one of Yellowstone's most famous attractions. It's also interesting trivia that half the world's geothermal activity occurs in Yellowstone.

Before we reached the Old Faithful though, we did stop by and admire a number of other geysers that made bizarrely attractive formations, and had names to match. First stop was at the Fountain Paintpot geysers.

We also caught the Clepsydra geyser just as it erupted...And Old Faithful. A photo won't serve, we must have a video!

Another marvel of nature was the Dragon's Mouth at YNP.
