We have been to Yellowstone least 5 times in the last 15 years and one place that we always go is to The Upper Geyser Basin, better known as "the Old Faithful Area". Every time we go, it is familiar, but different. We have been to visit in the months of May, June, July, and December. Each time was different and full of fun! We love sharing this area with other people. And we got the opportunity to meet with some fellow YouTubers in this area of Yellowstone and show them around a bit. Mark and Chelsea are from Oregon and this was their first visit to Yellowstone. It was neat to meet them and to rediscover the area through their eyes. On our Winter visit to the Old Faithful area, we got to see Old Faithful turn into a geyser tornado! It was something I just had to see to believe. We were lucky Matt was taking video. We were also 2 of less than 20 people out there to watch it. It was a special time. Another special time we had in the Old Faithful area revolves around the Old Faithful Inn. I had found out that a few people each day (weather permitting) could go up on the roof of the Inn to "help lower the flags". You have to call ahead to get your spot and then plan really well. It was certainly a wonderful experience for Matt to help lower the American Flag and watch the geyser erupt right afterward. We had so many neat pictures of the roof line and the event, we couldn't put them all in the video, so you can see them below! The Old Faithful Area is a favorite of ours here at Happy Trails Hiking and a MUST SEE on our list! We hope you will visit there and tell us your thoughts about the area as well!
