Old Faithful, Upper Geyser Basin, and Mystic Falls loop

Despite the crowds, the symbolic Old Faithful was worth the visit. Perhaps not for Old Faithful itself, but all the geothermal features including vivid bacteria made pools and other geysers. It was easy to linger a while and get lost staring a the colors or the power of the geysers as they blast. The latter of which will take some waiting time. While waiting, I saw a coyote run by so keep eyes peeled. We also saw plenty of bison along the trail. A good way to avoid the biggest crowds is to go early or late as in our case.
