Itinerary

Fairy Falls

7 hours

If you love thermal features, amazing landscapes, and photogenic waterfalls, then our Fairy Falls Day Hike is for you. We begin with a short climb up to an incredible viewpoint overlooking the Grand Prismatic Spring. This rainbow starburst of a hot spring is the third largest in the world at over 200 feet in diameter. We then continue with a serene trek through lodgepole pine forests to Fairy Falls – a 200-foot waterfall plunging off a pine-studded cliff. We will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch, take photos, and enjoy this gorgeous feature. For those wanting to see it all, we will continue further into the backcountry to Imperial Geyser. After soaking up the magic of this lesser known gem, we will continue our hike back through the forests and meadows to the trailhead. We will keep our eyes peeled for wildlife and continue learning about the fascinating science and history of America’s first national park.
