After enjoying the display put on by Old Faithful on September 20, we decided to take a hike to Mystic Falls. The trail to the falls starts at the back of Biscuit Basin, so the first two photos are scenes from Biscuit Basin.
Sapphire Pool in Biscuit Basin

The hike to Mystic Falls was fairly easy and a pleasant walk. The next images were taken along the trail. Most of the trees along the trail are those that have grown since the 1988 fires.
The trail follows the Little Firehole River
This was our first sight of the falls. But it's only the bottom part.
This isn't a great shot, but you can get a better idea of the full size of the waterfall.
A look at the river as we begin our return walk.
What do you think...an osprey nest maybe?
Here, we're almost back to the beginning of the trail,
but I stopped for photos of the reflections in the water puddles.
I enjoyed seeing the sapphire and then the almost mustard color at Biscuit Basin. The waterfalls is pretty and it would appear that the trail back to the falls was an enjoyable journey as well. Thanks so much for sharing , Linda.
ReplyDeleteWow, the blue and yellow colors in the first photos are amazing! Great pictures. The hike to Mystic Falls must have been very enjoyable - the scenery is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and Doug!!
can almost smell the pines... beautiful area and neat colors in the first two. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. i must be hungry. i initially read your title as biscuit bacon. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sapphire pool is awesome!! And the gold, serpentine runoff makes for an eye-catching photo. Do you think that nest might be an eagle's nest? It appears pretty large. Dang, I wish you could've seen the bird that owned that. Beautiful area; thank you for sharing your travels. In case you don't post again, I hope you and Doug have a marvelous Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThat certainly brought back memories, Linda… We love the colors at Biscuit Basin --and enjoyed the waterfall hike also. That is where we passed by a Buffalo about 6-8 feet off of our trail… Luckily he paid no attention to us.. BUT--that was a hiking first for us!!!! ha
