What To Expect

Fairy Falls

If you love thermal features, amazing landscapes, and photogenic waterfalls, then our Fairy Falls Day Hike is for you. We begin with a short climb up to an incredible viewpoint overlooking the Grand Prismatic Spring. This rainbow starburst of a hot spring is the third largest in the world at over 200 feet in diameter. We then continue with a serene trek through lodgepole pine forests to Fairy Falls – a 200-foot waterfall plunging off a pine-studded cliff. We will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch, take photos, and enjoy this gorgeous feature. For those wanting to see it all, we will continue further into the backcountry to Imperial Geyser. After soaking up the magic of this lesser known gem, we will continue our hike back through the forests and meadows to the trailhead. We will keep our eyes peeled for wildlife and continue learning about the fascinating science and history of America’s first national park.

We had a great 8-mile with Paulina to see Fairy Falls. She also took us to Imperial Geyser where we sat and had a delicious lunch. It was great to be accompanied by someone who was so knowledgeable of the area.
A must do in Yellowstone!

Thank you Jared. It was absolutely breathe taking. We had seen pictures of what we were about to see but this was just so much more. Our guide was so knowledgeable and catered the tour to our wish. We could not have dream of a better way to learn and explore the West.

Our guide Jared was great. We did the Fairy Falls here ke. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He had a great lunch for us and catered to our picky eating habits. He timed everything perfectly as we had another activity planned. Wildland never disappoints. We have done tours with them for years and they are always great.
Excellent customer service

We booked the Fairy Falls hike and the day didn’t go quite as planned. These things happen but what set Wildland Trekking apart was how they handled it. Scott made direct contact as soon as possible and quickly resolved everything. Would highly recommend the company as you can be sure you are being dealt with by a passionate team with a real focus on customer service. Book in the knowledge they will look after you.

We have used Wildland Trekking multiple times - they are fantastic! We had Paulina as our Hiking Guide. Awesome! This is a nice level hike. About 3 hours including lunch at the falls. We arrived at the trail head 7:30 AM. GO EARLY. By 10:00 AM it looks like Disneyland. Yellowstone is the second most visited place this summer. Wildland Trekking comes with my highest recommendation.

This was the best experience! Our tour guide Bob Clark was so knowledgeable about the area and so fun! We felt like we were with a friend not a tour guide. Fairy Falls is so beautiful but highly recommend going further, you will not be disappointed! We are planning to go to Zion National Park next year and will be requesting Bob Clark to be our tour guide again!
