The Upper Geyser Basin Trail will lead you to the most intriguing and beautiful geysers you will ever see. This trail contains the largest concentration of geysers in the world. The trailhead is located at Old Faithful Inn. The paved trail leads to Morning Glory Pool and eventually to Biscuit Basin. The color of these features, especially Sapphire Pool and gem-like formations, like Jewel Geysers, makes you feel like you are witnessing something from out of this world. There are many side trips from this trail to other unusual geysers.
