Output >>> Old Faithful is a cone geyser in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. It was named in 1870 during the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to be named.

The geyser and the nearby Old Faithful Inn are part of the Old Faithful Historic District.
