How tall does Old Faithful’s eruption get?

The geyser can shoot water anywhere from 100 to 180 feet high. On a calm day, the steam plume can make it look even taller. The height depends on underground pressure and how much water has built up before the eruption. Even if you’ve seen pictures or videos, the live experience feels way more powerful. Standing nearby, you can actually feel the ground rumble right before it blasts off.
