Solitary Geyser

Definitely worth the short hike. Being away from the main boardwalks (and most tourists) makes this one a little extra special. Photos are from 2 visits, one on Aug 2016 and them May 2017.

Great little spot to sit and watch, as it bubbles over every 5-7 minutes. There was a very rude eastern European family that ignored all barriers, stepping into the area around the geyser and let their kids throw things into it - don't be like them.

Short 10 minute hike from the fork up to the Old Faithful lookout via the Fairy Falls trail. Definitely worth the extra effort, not many people and erupts very often, although not dramatically.

Beautiful geyser, must see

Some people will diss this geyser because of its 4ft height, but it’s still pretty cool. It erupts approximately every 5-7 minutes. I stayed for five eruptions. The size and longevity differ between each eruption. Sometimes the height would be about two feet and last about 90 seconds, other times it would be 4 feet tall and last 30 seconds. It was so cool! Take a lunch, sit, and enjoy the frequent eruptions. Make sure to stay in the designated trail area- there is fragile ground!

This is where I saw the Yellowstone wolf...

While everyone else is waiting for old faithful, this is the spot to hike to.

Not many people come up here but worth the short hike.
