USA - The West April 2012 Yellowstone National Park Part 5

Day 7 - continued

The Upper Geyser Basin

This is one of the most interesting features in the park whereby the world famous "Old Faithful" geyser is located here. This powerful geyser has been continuously erupting the hot fountain-like boiling water and gasses until today at an average intervals of 94 minutes (at that time) to a height reaching over 100 ft. The eruption will last approximately 1.5 mins to 5 mins. We waited patiently for moment and watching it started hissing to its full force eruptions was truly an amazing experience!!!

Hissing......
Do not blink a second!!
Its coming....
More to go....
Yes!!!.....
Old Faithful erupts to the maximum height of 90 - 184 ft.







The Midway Geyser Basin

This is also one of the most amazing attractions as it features the Grand Prismatic Spring, the colorful turquoise pond surrounded by the orange and brown colored spring.
