The Fairy Falls trail is basically flat, and your guide will lead you across the Firehole River and into the Midway Geyser Basin. The first part of the trail follows the river, past a turnoff to an overlook of Grand Prismatic Spring up a little hill. This is not generally included on our Fairy Falls hike, but please let us know if you would like to do it as an add-on to your hike.

We’ll continue past the back side of Grand Prismatic, before turning off onto another trail which will lead us to Fairy Falls. When we get to the waterfall, you’ll be able to explore for a while, before we cross over a creek and make our way along a trail to Imperial Geyser.

Although its eruptions are not that high, Imperial Geyser is in a beautiful setting, with a blue green pool surrounding it, and colorful bacteria mats running in a stream off the pool. We’ll follow the stream until we see Spa Geyser, and then continue hiking on a loop trail back to Fairy Falls.

The hike is approximately three miles (4.8 kilometres) long.

We have another hike which also visits Fairy Falls, but does not go to Imperial Geyser.

Tour Notes

We regret that cancellations and changes will not be accepted, and refunds will not be given. Half the amount may be charged to your card when you make the booking, and the balance will be charged 45 days from the tour date. An attempted or purported cancellation will result in the entire amount being charged to your card immediately.

The credit/debit card you used must be with you when you travel, and should be in your name. If you are booking for someone else, please let us know as you will need to complete the credit card authorization documentation, which we will send you.

If there are six or fewer people on the tour, a shuttle may transport you between Salt Lake and east Idaho, where one of our guides will pick you up and take you to Yellowstone. If this happens, the departure and drop off locations will be the Salt Lake City airport and a central Salt Lake downtown location. If there are more than six people, a dedicated guide and vehicle will transport you all the way.

This is a small group tour, with the possible exception of the shuttle between Salt Lake and east Idaho, where a bus may be used. The shuttle may make several stops on the way to east Idaho.

Parts of this tour may be provided by other vendors we use.
