This is a guided hike of the Mystic Falls and Biscuit Basin overlook trail from Old Faithful. You will leave Old Faithful with your guide, and start hiking along a paved path towards Morning Glory Pool, from where we will pick up the Artemisia Trail. We offer a separate guided hike of the Artemisia Trail.
At the end of the Artemisia Trail hike, we’ll make our way on the Mystic Falls part of the hike, across meadows and through a forest, before following the Little Firehole River towards Mystic Falls. After exploring Mystic Falls for a while, it’s time to hike a switchback trail up a fairly steep hill towards the Biscuit Basin overlook, and a great view of the geyser basin below and the Upper Geyser Basin in the distance.
We’ll make our way out of this section of the trail through Biscuit Basin itself, before picking up the Daisy Geyser Trail to Old Faithful, where the hike ends. The Daisy Geyser Trail is available as a separate hike on its own.
The trail is approximately 9.1 miles (14.7 kilometres) long, and there is a vertical gain of 500 feet (152 metres) on the climb up to the Biscuit Basin overlook.
We have another guided hike to the area, which start at Old Faithful, and just visits Mystic Falls, but not the Biscuit Basin overlook.
If you’d prefer a hike which is a little shorter, please consider another of our guided hikes which starts at the Grand Loop Road, rather than Old Faithful, but still visits both Mystic Falls as well as the overlook of Biscuit Basin. Shorter still is the trail from the Grand Loop Road, which hikes to Mystic Falls, but not the Biscuit Basin overlook.
