Old Faithful, in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, is caught here in the middle of an eruption, its column of hot water and steam rising high above the surrounding forest and boardwalks. The geyser earned its name from the regularity of its eruptions, which have typically come roughly every 60 to 90 minutes, a rhythm that made it a reliable draw for visitors. Yellowstone was set aside as the first national park in 1872, and Old Faithful quickly became one of its best-known attractions, a symbol of the park's geothermal wonders.
