    Pretty easy hike. Not sure why it is rated difficult... level, clear path, minimal elevation change. The falls and geyser are beautiful! No cliffs or drop offs.. Great hike

Fairy falls
Hike to Grand Prismatic overlook, then to Fairy Fall, and on to Imperial geyser. Very nice fall day, blue skies but hazy with forest fire smoke. Hike is basically level with little elevation change (except for overlook portion).
