Where did you find the information that it's inaccessible? What I see in the listing for the area is: Upper Geyser Basin - Old Faithful Geyser is accessible from the visitor center, Old Faithful Inn, and Old Faithful Lodge. An accessible bike/pedestrian path leads from the visitor center 1.5 miles to Morning Glory Pool (3 miles round trip). This path is also accessible from the Lower Yellowstone General Stores downhill from the Old Faithful Inn. Castle Geyser and Crested Pool are only 0.2 miles from this point. This access also reduces the round-trip distance to Morning Glory Pool to 2.4 miles. If the trail is accessible all the way to Morning Glory Pool, then surely it's accessible on the much shorter distance to Castle Geyser. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
