The weather was definitely cooler then summer last time I was here lol. We went the first week in Oct. You have to deal with the drop in temp but there were fewer people, and no traffic jams. Full review by tim g

WOW! I felt so lucky to get to the site within minutes of the eruption. It was such a humbling experience to witness. There was plenty of room to view and take pictures. Full review by Willeyradloff

Not as spectacular as you’d think. Stop along the other geysers on the way , better photo spots and better scenery. Be aware of traffic congestion making the trip down a bit longer than you plan for Full review by Mike D
We have a trip planned at the end of July and are staying in Wapiti. I was mapping how long it takes from our location to Old Faithful and it sends us to the South entrance saying "road closed". Does anyone know if this is temporary and for how long? Will we be able to get to Old Faithful from the east entrance?

Your best bet is to get on Yellowstone’s website and see what is opened and closed. When I went last fall, I entered through west Yellowstone. Even better if you can get someone live to talk to.
Are there any places to eat near Old Faithful in January? Planning a snowmobile trip and looking for a hot meal. Any recommendations? Most I looked at on TA received poor reviews or appear to be closed in winter. Thanks!

Old Faithful Snow Lodge Geyser Grill is open and just fair but your options are limited. Old Faithful Snow Lodge Obsidian Dining Room Opens: December 16, 2019 Closes: February 29, 2020. Beyond those you are limited in the park near Old Faithful.
What are some of the best things to do at old Faithful with only one day there ? Thanks Don

if you are only staying at old faithful, there are so many walks and trails to see other geysers. all are so different. they have a rangers walk to talk about everything there and take you sight seeing. There is an auditorium to see some pretty cool films about Yellowstone and a museum. Plenty of areas to eat. You will have to enjoy walking to see all of the beautiful view points. And of course old faithful goes off every 90 minutes. Additionally there are tours to take you out to all other areas. If you have a car, you can do old faithful in the morning or evening.. go for an early morning walk along one of the trails then jump into the car and go see grant village west thumb was absolutely amazing, the grand canyon the mud volcanos, norris geyser basin and of course the spectacular prismatic geyser which was by far the best ever but be prepared to park and walk a bit of a distance. We did this all in one day with no stress. Its pretty much a drive in a circle and we were really only out for about 5 hours.. you can then come back and watch the old faithful go off and have dinner at one of the restaurants. absolutely loved it and so worth going and seeing it all
