hiya,

what other Yellowstone Geysers can we see at the park apart from the Old Faithful Geyser? Any ideas?

hi there,

Other than Old Faithful Yellowstone, there are a few more geysers that you can watch erupt:

-The Castle Geyser is the oldest Yellowstone Geyser in the park estimated by geologists to be between 5,000 to 15,000 years old.

-The Grand Geyser is the tallest of the Yellowstone Geysers in the park, Grand's interval is usually around 8-12 hours, and its height about 150-180 feet and its duration is about 10-12 minutes.

-The Beehive is in direct vicinity of Old Faithful and it is located in what is referred to as the Upper Basin making its eruptions unpredictable and spectacular.

-The Lion is the main feature of the Lion Geyser Complex. This Yellowstone geyser's eruptions reach heights of 50 feet, but in 1988 an eruption reached 98 feet.
