    Fun hike to beautiful falls with minimal elevation gain. Arrive early or late as parking lot fills by mid-afternoon.

18-06-15 Yellowstone Fairy Falls
Simpele, vlakke en toch wel saaie wandeling. Veel mensen zeker ook tot Fairy Falls. Neem wederom DEET mee! Na 10 min links een stuk de heuvel op voor een schitterend uitzicht op de grand prismatic spring!!!
