Exploring the Upper Geyser Basin
a Video Tour with Park Ranger Orville Bach

A portrait of Park Ranger Orville Bach in uniform.

To join Ranger Orville on this video tour, simply start by clicking either the "Start Here!" or "1. Introduction" link below. Each stop is less than two minutes in length. By clicking the links in order, the presentation will occur just as it would if you had joined Ranger Orville for a "real" walk in the park.

The Upper Geyser Basin contains one-fourth of the world's geysers. It's a spectacular place. That's why it's Ranger Orville's favorite place on earth. In his 36-year tenure as a seasonal park ranger he has become one of the lucky few who know this geyser basin like the backs of their hands. For many years Ranger Orville has led Upper Geyser Basin walks for people visiting the area. If you've never had the opportunity to hike with him in person, this is your chance to join him on a video tour of the Upper Geyser Basin.
