<DIV>. The trail to Mystic Falls above the Biscuit Basin is well worth the
effort to continue past the falls area and get up on the bluff for a dramatic
view of the thermal basins.</DIV>
<DIV> It has been a few years since Nancy and I took the whole trail
but I'm quite sure it is open. With a little planning it is easy to see an Old
Faithful eruption from the overlook. </DIV>
<DIV>I think the round trip (loop) hike would be about 3 miles , and
perhaps 800 feet vertical rise. Mystic Falls itself is dramatic on a cold day
for the steam vents along the water course.</DIV>
