Beyond Old Faithful

After seeing the satellite images showing Old Faithful surrounded by a semi-circle of parking lots, I was a little concerned that it was going to be one big tourist circus. But once I got there, I realized that Old Faithful the Geyser was just one attraction (and not even the most interesting) of the larger “Old Faithful Area”. Here are some of the nearby sights.
