Old Faithful – Source: National Geographic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Taking a trip to Yellowstone National Park,<\/strong> consider this: the geyser dubbed Old Faithful might not be reliable for long.<\/p>\n

The lapse between steam blasts has lengthened by about 14 minutes in recent years, most likely because of an earthquake in 1983 that altered subterranean water levels, according to Filmmaker Ken Burns who wrote in a story in Time.<\/p>\n

At least four other geysers in the park have been permanently damaged by vandals who threw litter into the geysers’ mouths.<\/p>\n

Want to be really alone at a National Park?<\/p>\n

Consider this, the National Park Service boasted about 275 million visitors last year; virtually none of them went to Aniakchak. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The national monument and preserve in rural Alaska recorded just 10 visitors in 2008, mainly on account of the park’s remote location in the Aleutian Islands, 450 miles southwest of Anchorage, and its abysmal weather. (The most visited park site, by contrast \u2014 the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia \u2014 drew more than 16 million people.)<\/p>\n

Aniakchak is accessible only by boat and seaplane, which often can’t land because of fog and wind (the gusts can lead to hypothermia even in summer, the Park Service warns).<\/p>\n

If you make it, don’t expect much in the way of luxury or even a gift shop: the government has no public facilities on the 600,000-acre site.<\/p>\n
