What would a trip to Yellowstone be without a visit to the Old Faithful geyser?

We got there just as a smaller geyser nearby was finishing its steamy display.

Couldn’t bring the dog on the boardwalk, so found seats in the shade on fallen trees.

People lined up for the predicted 5 pm showing.

And, faithfully, at 5:05, the geyser did its thing.   (I did read the pamphlet on why this happens – something to do with pressure building up below the surface, and a whole complicated “pipe” system – but I would need to do a whole lot more reading before I could explain it to someone else.)

Anyway, after a few minutes, it was over, and we could all go back to our cars.
