Yes, this is Old Faithful, from the backside in Geyser basin, doing its thing on the 90 minute cycle
And here, behind Old Faithful, is the little Anemone Geyser. Spouts off ever 5-7 minutes; drains the pool, fills, spouts and so on
Something we both enjoyed on our drive around the park is that you can come around a corner and suddenly see fumaroles or geysers or mud pots off to the side, sometimes emptying into the river.
This would be one of the bubbling mud pots
Nearby you will find the Dragon's Mouth...which sounds and smells a lot like I think a dragon would. There is a hot spring down in the cave which fills the cave and then comes pouring out with a roar every minute or so.
This is Grand Prismatic Spring, it is 370 feet across the largest in the park.
One of the many colorful sections where the spring spills into the river
And this would be the whole shebang from the top ( yes that is with filters, but it is nearly that colorful in real life)
Oh yeah, sometimes you come round the corner and find a bison walking down the road, too.
This morning, on our way out of the park we stopped at the Lower Yellowstone Falls and were treated to this beautiful rainbow at the same time.
