Discover the Waterfalls of Yellowstone
Truly Breathtaking – Inspiring Artists and Visitors Alike
Yellowstone National Park is home to some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country, drawing visitors from around the globe. Among these natural wonders, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a striking canyon that showcases the dramatic beauty of the park. Carved by the Yellowstone River, this stunning landmark stretches over 20 miles and boasts vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and red. At its heart, you’ll find the Upper Yellowstone Falls, plunging 110 feet, and the Lower Yellowstone Falls, cascading an impressive 308 feet—one of the tallest in North America (and if you ask us, the most beautiful). These powerful waterfalls not only create a stunning visual spectacle but also contribute to the park’s rich ecosystem and vibrant wildlife.
