I suggest checking the Old Faithful webcam beforehand to see the eruption schedule. It helped me plan my visit so I didn’t waste time waiting around.

Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly, and it was freezing in the morning but warm by noon. A light jacket saved the day for me!

If you want to save time on food, bring snacks. The cafeteria can get super crowded, and eating outside is a lot more pleasant. Plus, take in those views!

Don’t forget your camera! The eruptions are amazing, and the surrounding area is stunning. I regretted missing a few pics while I was too busy just watching!

I recommend arriving right at 8 AM when the park opens. It's way less crowded and you can enjoy the geysers without feeling rushed.

Pack snacks and water because the lodge food options can be overpriced and crowded during peak hours. I wish I had brought my own picnic.

Don’t miss the timed eruptions like Old Faithful! Use the park's app to check eruption predictions for the best experience.

I suggest hitting the shorter walks first, then tackling the longer trails later. This way, you'll have energy for the stunning views without burning out early.

Wear sturdy shoes! The trails can get a bit muddy or slippery, so you definitely want to be comfortable while exploring.

Check the geyser's eruption schedule on the National Park Service website before you go. It saves you time waiting around, and you’re more likely to catch it in action!

I recommend wearing sturdy shoes. The trails can be a bit rough and uneven. I slipped once and learned my lesson. Trust me you'll enjoy exploring more if you're comfortable

My advice is to check the geyser prediction timetable before you go. I missed Old Faithful's eruption by just 10 minutes because I didn't plan ahead. It’s a bummer to wait for it if you don’t time your visit right!

I suggest bringing a reusable water bottle. The prices at the visitor center can be super high, and you'll want to stay hydrated while walking around. Plus, the scenery is beautiful, so you'll want to spend as much time outside as possible

My advice is to pack some snacks and water. The area can be a bit remote, and once you get there, you might want to hang out and enjoy the view longer, so having that stuff on hand saves you time and money later.
