  3. Mystic Falls:  This is a short and easy 1.5 miles hike round-trip to a memorable waterfall, or take the longer more rigorous trail for spectacular view of the Old Faithful Geyser Basin; moderate difficulty, about 4 miles.

  4. Swim at the Firehole:  Follow the Firehole canyon road and about 2/3 the way up is a pullout and swimming area (Please swim responsibly as currents can be strong and there is no lifeguard on duty)
