What to expect

Grand Prismatic Spring
Pass by

The Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook offers a stunning view of Yellowstone's largest hot spring. From this vantage point, visitors can appreciate the spring's massive size and vivid coloration, which ranges from deep blues to vibrant oranges, created by microbial mats around its edges.
Fairy Falls
Pass by

Fairy Falls, one of Yellowstone’s tallest waterfalls, descends 220 feet from Fairy Creek, originating in the Firehole River. Discovered during the 1871 Hayden Expedition, it was named by J.W. Barlowe for its graceful descent.
Firehole River
Pass by

The Firehole River, named for its misty, smoke-like steam, flows through Yellowstone National Park, serving as a vital link between several geyser basins.
