The Old Faithful geyser faithfully erupts in the Wyoming portion of Yellowstone National Park, which makes up the lion's share of the nation's first national park. Small pieces of the park also spill into neighboring Idaho and Montana. Old Faithful was named in 1870 during the Washburn-Langford-Doane surveying expedition and was the first geyser in the park to receive a name. It is one of the most predictable geographical features on Earth, erupting every 35 to 120 minutes
