Description

Fairy Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Yellowstone (61m high). The road leading to the hiking path is a gravel road closed to cars. This makes it a good target for a short bike ride. On the way you will pass beautiful Goose Lake and several features displaying volcanic activity. The hiking path leads through a pine forest. It is very popular and may get crowded in high season. Both, the hiking and biking path, are easy to navigate and are also suitable for children.
