Sep 30, 2012 — Fairy Falls is a nice watefall destination in Yellowstone National Park, but the real sight is Grand Prismatic Spring along the way. The bright blue water of the spring is contrasted by unreal orange and red hues caused by pigmented bacteria. It's 160 feet deep and can heat to over 180 degrees. There's a small hill to climb up to get a really nice view of the spring from above before continuing on the trail up to Fairy Falls.

If you find my site helpful, please help me replace my many broken cameras, fund my website fees (hosting, APIs, security), or just support my countless hours of work. I pay for all expenses myself, and all trip reports I post are unpaid and unsponsored, so any support is really appreciated!

My site is free to use, but consider sending me a few bucks to help keep it running. Thanks in advance!
