While at the Grant Village Visitor's Center
, we learned that Old Faithful was due to go off in an hour. It would seem like that is plenty of time to travel 17 miles but these roads are not super highways and if there are cars pulled over, you must stop to see what's causing the excitement. So we made it to the Old Faitful viewing area with minutes to spare. The ranger's predictions are + or - 10 minutes and right on schedule Old Faithful erupted. The eruption probably lasted about five minutes and rose about 40 feet in the air. We road around the area to see more of the geysers, including Castle Geyser and Three Sisters. The water below the steam at Three Sisters is a beautiful aquamarine.
