Most idiots see the geyser as just another tourist attraction like an animated stop at Disneyland. It makes me almost cry when they clap at Nature's majesty.
On the other hand, perhaps we are expressing appreciation to the One who created it. :) (Or just being funny - which I was when I was 22.)
On another tack, a lot of people get Old Faithful Inn and Old Faithful Lodge mixed up. Both of them exist: Old Faithful Inn is the iconic log structure - and I agree, it is worth seeing just on its own. So glad the firefighters (with help from Idaho farmers) were able to save it from the fires in 1988!! It's irreplaceable. Built in 1904, it's the second-oldest continuously operating hotel in the park.
