Old Faithful erupts every 92 minutes on average. Y

Old Faithful erupts every 92 minutes on average. Yellowstone’s most famous geyser, Old Faithful, was discovered in 1870 by the Washburn Expedition. It got its name from being one of the more frequent and predictable geysers, erupting approximately every 70-90 minutes. Old Faithful has erupted over a million times since the park was opened in 1872 and can send water between 100-180 feet in the air, and each eruption can contain between 3,700 to 8,400 gallons of water. On the day you drive into Yellowstone National Park, make sure to look up the eruption times before you lose cell service inside the park. Predictions are posted at the Old Faithful visitor’s center, on Twitter at @GeyserNPS and online at the national park service website. #PowellWY #EastGateYNP

Yellowstone has been an important place for wolves

Yellowstone has been an important place for wolves, which were all but extinct in the U.S. by the early 1900’s due to habitat loss and hunting. Today there are roughly 94 wolves grouped into 8 different packs inside Yellowstone (March 2020). Wolves are the largest members of the dog family. Wolves can roam up to 12 miles in a single day. Wolves prefer to eat large animals like deer, elk and moose, and can eat up to 20 pounds of meat in a single setting. That is like a human eating 100 hamburgers. Plan your trip to Yellowstone and start counting all the different animals. #VisitPowell #Wyoming

Fees for fishing and boating permits in Yellowston

Fees for fishing and boating permits in Yellowstone National Park will increase. Anglers will be able to purchase fishing permits online via Recreation.gov for the upcoming season in addition to in-park stores and surrounding communities beginning this spring.

The resulting increase in revenue from the fee increases will guarantee funding and provide a sustained revenue source that will contribute to continued efforts to reduce nonnative lake trout and increase the park’s aquatic invasive species (AIS) inspection capacity.
