I'm sure you recognize this as Old Faithful, the most iconic spot in Yellowstone. It's not the largest of the park's geysers, but its eruptions are the most predictable, giving it its name.
What you may not know is that Old Faithful was named during the second exploration of Yellowstone, the Washburn-Langford-Doane expedition of 1870. It was expeditions like that one that fueled the country's interest in this unique part of the United States and ultimately led to Yellowstone's establishment as a national park.
