Fairy Creek Trail to Imperial Geyser

02/21/23

This hike opens up right around Memorial Day as there is a lot of bear activity in the area. The trail offers a mix of everything- viewpoints of the Grand Prismatic Spring, waterfalls (small but cool) and of course, the Imperial Geyser. The route is straightforward. It is muddy in places so have good waterproof footwear. As always, be BEAR AWARE!
