Most people don’t know that there is a trail you can take towards the top of a hill to an overlook of Old Faithful erupting from up high. Your guide will lead you on a hike along the Old Faithful observation point trail for a most unusual perspective of the world’s most famous geyser.

The trail is approximately 1.6 miles (2.6 kilometres) long on a roundtrip basis, and gains about 200 feet (61 metres) in elevation. One of the most amazing things about this hike is that in just minutes you can be away from the hustle and bustle of the thousands of people at Old Faithful, and be enjoying the peace and tranquility of a hike through the forest.

We time the Old Faithful observation point hike to ensure that we are at the observation point shortly before the start of Old Faithful’s predicted eruption window.

Please check out the videos we have of the Old Faithful observation point hike.

Tour Notes

We regret that cancellations and changes will not be accepted, and refunds will not be given.

If there are six or fewer people on the tour, a shuttle may transport you between Salt Lake and east Idaho, where one of our guides will pick you up and take you to Yellowstone. If this happens, the departure and drop off locations will be the Salt Lake City airport and a central Salt Lake downtown location. If there are more than six people, a dedicated guide and vehicle will transport you all the way.

This is a small group tour, with the possible exception of the shuttle between Salt Lake and east Idaho, where a bus may be used. The shuttle may make several stops on the way to east Idaho.

Parts of this tour may be provided by other vendors we use.
