Upper and Lower Yellowstone Falls

Second to Old Faithful is Yellowstone Falls for the most photographed location. This iconic spot features the colorful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River and the Upper and Lower falls from overlooks and walkways on both sides of the canyon. There is good driving access to view both waterfalls but if you have time and energy, hiking down to the waterfalls edge is a great sight. The upper waterfall trail is easy, requiring just a few minutes to walk. The lower falls access trail drops 600 feet down to the edge, where the water plunges off. This is called the Brink of Lower Falls Trail.
