Nothing can compare to the peace found in nature. This same peace can be found in our own backyards, of course, but few places can compete with the national parks in the United States. There are 63 in total, with Yellow Stone being the very first one. While most of it can be found in Wyoming, some parts are in Montana and Idaho. In other words, this is one massive park!

Still, one of the most popular spots has to be Old Faithful. This geyser was given its name for a reason. Unlike most other geysers, this one’s eruptions are rather predictable. In fact, it erupts about every 90 minutes (with variations from 50 to 127 minutes). When it does erupt, it lasts anywhere from a minute and a half to five minutes. It’s such a beautiful thing to experience in person, as a woman named Stephanie Seymore shares.
But it wasn’t just Old Faithful that made Stephanie’s visit to Yellow Stone so unforgettable. While she was admiring the beautiful eruption, an unexpected visitor decided to join. The visitor? An adorable bison! The creature leisurely grazed nearby as the geyser erupted, creating the perfect picturesque moment. See for yourself in the viral video below!

Sure, it would have been nice to see just about any animal near Old Faithful, but it’s extra special that it was a bison. For starters, it was officially made the national mammal of the U.S. in 2016. But there’s also the animal’s ties to Yellow Stone itself.
According to the National Park Service, bison at Yellow Stone have continuously lived there since prehistoric times. That makes them pure descendants of early bison. In other words, they are entirely free of cattle genes. How cool is that!?
“That’s the most American thing I’ve ever seen,” someone shares in the comment section of the video, another adding, “This is breathtaking.”
