    This scenic hiking trail provides stunning panoramic views of the iconic Grand Prismatic Spring. The trail is a moderate 1.6-mile roundtrip hike that takes you through a beautiful forested area before ascending a steep hill to a viewing platform overlooking the Grand Prismatic Spring.

    The viewing platform offers spectacular views of the multicolored spring from above, showcasing the vivid hues of blue, green, yellow, and orange created by the microorganisms living in the hot spring.

    We like this trail because it gives a bird's eye view of the entire spring and its surroundings which is different from what most visitors see from ground level.
