The Old Faithful WebCam sends a new real-time photo of Old Faithful Geyser approximately every 30 seconds. Old Faithful is not the largest or most regular geyser in the park. It has become a popular destination because it erupts more frequently than any of the other big geysers.

All times mentioned on this page are Mountain Time.

For more information about the area visit our Old Faithful Area Online Tour.

Visit the Geyser Observation and Study Association (a non-govermental site) for a
recent summary of geyser activity in the Old Faithful area.

Temperature at Old Faithful
We used to use a commercial service to report weather conditions for the interior of the park. However, that service became unreliable. Department policy prohibits us from linking directly to commercial websites for this function. The current weather conditions are taken directly from an RSS feed from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The RSS feed from Lake Yellowstone is the closest one available for this area. For more information, visit NOAA's National Weather Service at http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/. The NWS also offers a 7-day forecast for Yellowstone National Park.
