Hike #13: Fairy Falls (7/21/2012)

Post, Artist Paintpots we headed out on the Fairy Falls hike, which goes by the Great Prismatic.  It is pretty amazing.  We veered off the trail to climb the hill a little to get this view.  Amazing colors.  Everytime I see one of these natural wonders, I can't help but think about the being an adventurer or homesteader coming across this hundreds of years ago.  Wouldn't that blow your mind?!

Ilija and his ride

Smiling Q, what a great guy.

Another self shot--I was there too.

This is how it looks from ground level--a little different.  Family shot, Ilija is back there somewhere.

Family shot.  Those are good looking guys.

Someone fell asleep again, so we covered him up with Mama's sunshirt.

Fairy falls--well worth the flat walk out there.

Pretty magical.

You can walk right under the falls.

Heading past the falls we hit (drumroll, please) a colorful geyser.  Shut up, you say.  We managed to grant all three wishes in less then two days?  Why yes, yes we did.  That is just how we roll, Ian.

Cute.


Back as the falls post geyser, cooling off in the mist with an awake Ilija.

What a kid.
