Geyser Hill

Geyser Hill is a popular geothermal area in Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin, located directly across the Firehole River from Old Faithful. Visitors can follow an accessible boardwalk loop to observe active geysers, colorful hot springs, and steaming vents such as Lion Geyser and Beehive Geyser. It offers an intimate look at the park's vibrant hydrothermal activity right next to the main visitor center.
