Camping and rock climbing can be found all over the parks as there are an abundance of large mountains pushing through the floor of the earth. The most famous spot inside the park here is the most famous geyser in the world, properly named Old Faithful. The geyser received this name because of its reliable bursts of hot water every 2-5 minutes that can reach as far as 180 feet in the air.
