The Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park contains the most famous hydrothermal feature in the park, Old Faithful.

I hiked up from Mallard Creek to nearby Mallard Lake, then dropped down to the basin and explored around, including a visit to the Morning Glory Pool. From there, I closed the loop along the uninteresting Powerline Trail.
