A perfect old spring and an old house - Yellowstone scenery 4
Old Faithful Geyser is the most famous in Yellowstone Park, the reason is not the water it sprays - Iceland New Zealand is enough Big, just because this geothermal geyser is too real, too honest, too interesting, and will always erupt at some point. The tourists came to listen to the ancient legends about it, and waited for the faithful appearance of the letter, and witnessed it once again as it has been erupting. As for the high spray and low water, it doesn't matter.
If you arrive at the old faithful spring just happened to miss the moment of the previous eruption, then waiting for the next time every 90 minutes is quite long for tourists. At this time, the Old Faithful Inn, standing next to the fountain with more than 100 years of history, is definitely a good place to wait for the time.
In fact, this old wooden house, which was sealed by the National Historic Protection Fund as an "American old-fashioned hotel", is indeed a bit of a look. The entire hotel, including the platform, stairs and roof windows, is built entirely of logs. The hotel platform and some of the rooms face the old Faithful Springs, and you can watch every eruption of the old Faithful Springs without leaving your home. As a national historic landmark building, Old Faithful Hotel has been popular with tourists since its establishment in 1904 and is the most popular inn in Yellowstone Park. If you can stay for one night here, it will be a fun experience to experience the life of a predecessor who has no air conditioning, no fireplace and no wifi.
"Old Faithful Spring", as the name suggests, is an old and faithful geyser. Such a loyal feeling, how can the passion of worshipping like this be touched by people! Did you think about this name? Guys, come here to propose marriage! Don't be too romantic!

黃石公園是躺在美國心臟地帶的一個地球最具破壞力的“超級火山”。其地質活動劇烈,地下岩漿含有大量二氧化硅,能將巨量的爆炸性氣體凝固在岩漿內。一旦氣體和岩漿凝固在一起,就會導致大規模噴發。科學家估計,在未來,黃石公園仍有可能發生超級火山爆發。
老忠實噴泉是美國黃石公園中最負盛名的景觀,1870年沃什布恩-蘭福德-多恩探險期間第一個被命名的間歇泉。因為它有規律的噴發,每次噴發的規律都基本可以被計算出來,現噴發規律是90分鐘左右一次,可以在進入公園前搜索一下噴發時間,按照它的時間提前來觀看。基本一整天會噴發幾次,絕對不會錯過。 知道老忠實噴泉在以前是用來幹嘛的嗎?大家想也不會想到老忠實噴泉以前是“洗衣機”。因為它有規律的噴發,有人發現棉製和麻制的衣服放在噴泉口上被老忠實噴泉沖刷過之後,衣服居然不會損毀,而且洗得很乾凈。但羊毛織物的衣服就會被扯成碎片。不過現在是看不到用老忠實噴泉洗衣的奇觀了。由於我們錯過了下午4點半的那一場,這次就趕在晚上的6點來到老忠實噴泉觀看,在開車前往的途中還遇上了小小的塞車,因為在來的路邊草坪上有棕熊,大家都停車在路邊觀看,導致車慢速前進,幸好司機機智的繞車而行,我們才趕上時間觀看。 來到剛好18點正,在草坪旁已經是站滿了觀看的人群。 18:05分開始正式噴發,先是噴出濃煙和小水柱,時大時小,時高時矮,今天噴發的最高點達到了32米高,雖然不是歷史的最高點(最高的高度可以達40-50米),現場我們也感受到它噴發時犹如萬馬奔騰的壯觀景象。這裏的水溫也非常高,大約在70-150℃左右,有部分已經是氣化化成煙霧。整個噴發的歷時大概只有4分鐘。
OLD FAITHFUL GERSER老忠實間歇噴泉可謂真正的忠誠,不像黃石公園的其它噴泉般任性亂噴,從它被發現到現在的100多年間,他總是每隔90分鐘左右噴發一次,每次約4分鐘。據說每次能噴出熱水約1萬加侖,高度達50米,水溫攝氏90多度。老忠實噴泉每日噴發時間在Old Faithful區的酒店、遊客中心等都有公布,可以先確定再前往。這是唯一一個觀景平台上有長椅的景點!大家圍坐一圈,似乎是在欣賞一場演出,衷心感謝大自然的精彩表演。如果有時間,一定要去旁邊的Old Faithful Inn参觀一下,喝杯咖啡。這家是LP推薦的首選住宿,建於19世紀,已經有140多年歷史,據說是公園內最難定的一家,大堂的陽台上就能看間歇泉的噴發。這家旅館就地取材用當地的松木原木建成,無論建築的樑柱、牆地、天棚,全部取材原木。建築外形氣勢恢宏,內部空間高大開闊,中空的大堂六七層高,非常具有藝術美感,是難得一見的大規模原木結構建築。
老忠實間歇泉,是遊覽黃石公園必去的景點。景點旁邊的老木屋餐廳,醒目地擺放着告示牌,標明了噴泉下一次噴發的準確時間,噴泉邊坐滿了等候着的忠實遊客,一噴衝天的泉水,壯觀美麗~
經典景點,每隔30一90分鐘就會和世人有一個約定,從炙熱的岩石中噴出幾十米高的水柱。幾百個人圍著泉口,靜靜等待,都在期待著一場盼望許久的演出,而老忠實溫泉從來不會讓人失望!平地噴出的大水柱,霧氣繚繞,配合上圍觀遊客的尖叫聲,很有蔘與感。衆人期待,衆人尖叫,衆人讚歎,這也是旅途中的樂趣所在。更值得一提的是老忠實旁邊的展覽館,圖文並茂,條分縷析,翔實生動地介紹了黃石公園。是個人見過的最優秀地質公園博物館之一!
