"Yellowstone's Grand Canyon"






One of the many impressive areas of the park is the deep canyon of the Yellowstone River, featuring the upper and lower portions of Yellowstone Falls they call “Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon”.  Yellowstone's complex geologic history is expressed in vivid colors and dramatic shapes that can be seen from several different points of view.  Puffs of steam mark the locations of active geothermal features in the canyon's walls. The Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River add to the grandeur of this unique natural treasure.  Truly it is a sight to behold!
