At 197 ft, Fairy Falls is one of the taller waterfalls in Wyoming — a plunge waterfall worth seeking out.
The falls are fed by Fairy Creek. You'll find it in Teton, Wyoming. It is protected within National Park Service (Yellowstone National Park).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 4.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of West Yellowstone, the closest town.
When to go: Summer to early fall. Like most waterfalls, Fairy Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
