Calistoga's Old Faithful Geyser
2007-12-12 06:25:00
Located in the upper Napa Valley near the town of Calistoga you will find one of only three Old Faithfuls geysers in the world.

Unfortunately the goats have become accustomed to the noise from all the visitors and are not easily scared. But they do add to the charm of the place and kids really enjoy seeing them. There are some picnic tables, a snack bar and gift shop where you can pick up souvenirs. Old Faithful Geyser is a great day trip from the San Francisco area. Fun and interesting for adults and kids. The geyser is located at 1299 Tubbs Lane, Calistoga, CA. Admission adults: $8.00, kids 6-12 $3.00 under 6 free. Open seven days a week 9 AM - 5 PM View Larger Map ...
