Fun Facts

Standing at 200 feet, Fairy Falls offers a spectacular view and is a popular destination for hikers.

The trail to Fairy Falls passes by the Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the United States, known for its vibrant colors.

The trail is approximately 5 miles round trip and is considered moderate, making it accessible for families and casual hikers.

Hikers often spot bison, elk, and even the occasional bear along the trail, so it's important to stay alert and maintain a safe distance.

It connects to the Imperial Geyser and Spray Geyser trails, offering extended hiking options for those looking to explore more of Yellowstone's natural beauty.

The trail is most accessible from late spring to early fall, as snow can make the path difficult to navigate during winter months.

The waterfall's name reflects its graceful cascade, reminiscent of a fairy's touch.
