Their are more geysers here than anywhere in Yellowstone and some spectacular ones at that. Take your time and enjoy this wonderful landscape with it's pools of... More

It's a lot of walking but so well worth the walk. Make sure you have the best walking shoes. This should be a requirement upon entering Yellowstone. I absolutely LOVE...Upper Geyser Basin. So much beauty it's unbelievable and it's different each time you visit. A MUST SEE. More

This is a good geyser basin if you have the time to walk around the Old Faithful area and see each geyser. If you don't have the time, then I would recommend to see only Old Faithful here and then drive North to see the lower geyser basin. More

The Upper Basin geothermals are always spectacular, but they take on a whole new atmosphere in winter. Walks are mainly stomped down snow, so be prepared.
