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.

What to bring

Tips

  • When choosing your shoes, consider that you have to bike and hike in them. Cycling shoes with cleats may not be the right choice.
  • You can also do just the hike. There is a parking lot close-by.
  • There are two tent campsites on the way. One is located at beautiful Goose Lake. The other one is Fairy Meadows, located in the middle of pine trees.
