"Awesome Lower Yellowstone Falls" Top 5 Page for this destination Waterfalls Tip by Bwana_Brown

As Crocodile Dundee would have said: “That’s not a waterfall, THIS is a waterfall”! Wow, I’ve seen a few waterfalls in my time but the Lower Falls was right up there with some world famous ones (Iguazu, Victoria, Niagara)! This straight-on view shows it dropping 308-ft (94-m) off another ledge in Yellowstone NP, twice the height of Niagara Falls. This waterfall carries the largest volume of water of any in the American Rocky Mountains. The 2nd photo shows a close-up shot of spectators standing on what appears to be a natural rock bridge right at the edge of the waterfall – I bet that was a thrill to be standing so close to such raw power! Some other hikers obliged us with a final shot (3rd photo) of Sue and I with Lower Falls in the background.

Directions: Only a short walk from the car park beside the Yellowstone River a few miles south of Canyon Village
