Fairy Falls is a tall and wispy 197ft waterfall near the Midway Geyser Basin. The well developed trail is on the opposite side of the Grand Prismatic Spring as it passes through an area especially affected by the great fires of 1988. The trail to the falls is roughly under 5 miles return though there are other trails that can also reach the falls. The one we took began near the Midway Geyser Basin. Along the way, you might be able to find some faint use-trails briefly scrambling up the adjacent hill to your left to get a pretty nice view of the Grand Prismatic Spring. Beyond the waterfall, you can also see the Imperial Geyser and Spray Geyser another 3 miles further if you're inclined to spend more time on the trail.
