This is a guided hike of the Mystic Falls and Biscuit Basin overlook trail from the Grand Loop Road. We have another, longer, version of this hike which starts at Old Faithful.
There are two ways we can access this hike. One is through Biscuit Basin, and the other puts us into the wilderness immediately. We’ll do one of them on the way there and the other on the return leg.
Whichever way we start, we’ll make our way to Mystic Falls, 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 take 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. There is a 500 foot (152 metres) gain in elevation on the climb up to the top of the hill. The trail is approximately 4.9 miles (7.9 kilometres) long.
We have a shorter version of this hike, which takes the trail to Mystic Falls, but not the Biscuit Basin overlook.
There are also two longer versions of this hike, which start at Old Faithful. One of these was mentioned above. It hikes to both Mystic Falls and the Biscuit Basin overlook. The second trail from Old Faithful just visits Mystic Falls, but not the Biscuit Basin overlook.
Please check out the videos we have of the Lone Star Geyser hiking trail.
