Number TWO...
Fairy Falls
Our next waterfall is located in Yellowstone National Park. the trailhead is about one mile south of Midway Geyser Basin. It is a 2.6 mile hike through burned down forest, to get to the spectacular Fairy Falls. Fairy Falls is a 197 ft drop off Madison Plateau, on Fairy Creek. We made it to the trailhead at about 10:30am. If I had to do it over again, I would have left earlier in the morning, as there is very little forest canopy and it was very hot. The total trip was 5.2 miles. With the two girls, it took us 4 1/2 hours round trip. It could easily be done faster, since the trail is more like a gravel bike path the entire way. This was a great hike for us to really understand our children's limitation. For these two girls, five miles is about their maximum, especially on a hot day! I can't wait to see waterfall number three!
