Grand Prismatic Spring and Fairy Falls GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Fairy Falls is a nice watefall destination in Yellowstone National Park, but the real sight is Grand Prismatic Spring along the way. The bright blue water of the spring is contrasted by unreal orange and red hues caused by pigmented bacteria. It's 160 feet deep and can heat to over 180 degrees. There's a small hill to climb up to get a really nice view of the spring from above before continuing on the trail up to Fairy Falls.
