At Old Faithful geyser, in Yellowstone National Park, benches are along the boardwalk in those areas with the best view of the geyser when it erupts.
Old Faithful is very predictable, to within ten minutes or so, most of the time.
If you haven’t had a chance to find out its predicted time, a full crowd on the benches is another good indicator that the geyser will be erupting soon. We were walking over from Old Faithful Inn parking lot and hadn’t checked the prediction time, yet.

It must be fascinating to watch Old Faithful blow!
It is, even though we have seen it so many times that we are almost experts on it. 😉
I have read so much about it and how it has got into daily use as a metaphor is amazing.
We never visit Yellowstone, without making it to Old Faithful… wasn’t really planning to this visit, but there we were.
