We did the lower falls - walked all the way down to the platform they have there. At first I was reluctant - as the decent is pretty steep and all you can think about on the way down (well paved trail) is how much you are going to suffer on the way back up!! But after arriving at the... More

Visited in mid-May and what a perfect time, no crowds and pleasant weather. This is a must see in Yellowstone. Expect to spend a few hours in this area.

By it's size you can't compare this canyon to the Grand Canyon,AZ but I believe this one is much more beautiful. It is so colourful and these waterfalls are gorgeous!!! Definitely must see when in Yellowstone! Really - no kidding More
