Grand Prismatic Spring at Midway Geyser Basin, YNP



The Ranger took me on a little date night to the new overlook of Grand Prismatic Spring. It's a mile to walk there and the trail is quite gradual and easy. There were a LOT of people on the trail, however, the overlook area did not seem overcrowded and we spent a good twenty minutes there (waiting for the clouds to clear but they never did). This will likely become THE most popular trail in all of Yellowstone. But what a GRAND VIEW! And just for clarification, you park at the Fairy Falls trailhead and begin walking on the old flat road. The only sign we saw was one that said "Trail" with an arrow indicating left. That's the trail. If you continue straight, you would then be headed to Fairy Falls. So take your first left up the hill and you will see this incredible hot spring.
