Fountain Geyser

Did you know that 75% of the geysers on the face of the planet exist in Yellowstone National Park? That is an amazing geyser fact and it makes Yellowstone a treasure trove for geyser gazersYou can find the Steamboat geyser in the

Norris

Geyser

Basin. It is the largest geyser on earth at over 300 feet tall! The Steamboat geyser does not erupt every few minutes so it may be difficult to witness its eruption. Echinus is a nearby geyser that blows irregularly but when it does, its column can grow over thirty feet high and last around five minutes.

The Old Faithful geyser is the most popular geyser at

Yellowstone

Park because of its predictability, duration and height. It has a geyser column over 100 feet high and erupts every 66-92 minutes on average.

Below is a list of popular geysers at Yellowstone, their location, interval, duration and height:
