Mystic Falls

Mystic Falls forms a 70-foot cascade on the Little Firehole River, dropping from the Madison Plateau through multiple tiers of rock formations.

During the 1930s, visitors regularly gathered at the waterfall base to swim in the warm waters fed by the surrounding thermal springs.

The waterfall trail connects to the larger network of Yellowstone paths, allowing visitors to observe both water features and geothermal formations.

The trail starts at Biscuit Basin parking lot and offers two route options: a direct 2.4-mile path or a 4.1-mile loop including the basin overlook.

Steam rises near the top of the falls due to geothermal springs mixing with the river water, creating one of the largest thermal waterfalls globally.
