Fairy Falls & Prismatic Overlook

Fairy Falls Trail is a scenic hiking trail culminating in the spectacular Fairy Falls, which plunge 197 feet into a misty pool below. A quick mid-way detour leads to the Grand Prismatic Overlook, so you can kill two birds with one hike.

The trail is a 5.4-mile roundtrip hike that takes you through lush forests, over a meandering stream, and past geothermal features before reaching the waterfall. The trail is relatively flat and shaded, making it a pleasant hike.

The highlight of the hike is undoubtedly Fairy Falls themselves. You can stand in awe of the impressive cascade and feel the cool mist from the pool below. For those who want to extend their hike, there is a trail that continues on to Imperial Geyser, a picturesque and not crowded pool with the geyser erupting every few minutes.

Overall, Fairy Falls Trail's combination of stunning natural beauty, geothermal features, and easy accessibility make it a must-visit for any explorer.
