Scenic Drives Yellowstone Scenic Drives Old Faithful to Mammoth Hot Springs One of the main routes to Old Faithful is from the south via Jackson, Wyo., and the South Entrance. The park road crosses the Continental Divide three times.
Waters flow east of the divide to the Atlantic, or west to the Pacific.
Sampling the worlds largest concentration of geysers, you follow the beautiful Firehole and Gibbon rivers. A visitor center at Old Faithful and a museum at Norris tell aspects of the park story. Three miles further east look for waterfowl and muskrats at Blacktail Ponds. Scattered groves of quaking aspen trees turn gold in autumn. The next side road leads to a petrified redwood tree.
