What travelers are saying

From one side of the lookout (easy, short walk) you see beautiful, colorful canyon walls and on the other side there is a wider part of the canyon and the Lower Falls.

I highly recommend walking from the Uncle Tom's Trail parking lot to Artist Point along the South Rim Trail for a nice short, easy hike.

We have enjoyed views from the various viewpoints around the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the various falls, but this one is always our favorite.

The amazing Blood Gesyer

I stood there, looking what was happening. There was hot springs going up. We saw lots of hot springs. It was so beautiful. The ground was mostly red. This is gorgeous! It looks like an artist had painted the environment.

Nice viewpoint

It is a nice viewpoint for the waterfall, but very crowded and far away. A good place for photos and overview of the area

One of the best views in YNP

Popular spot with an amazing view of the waterfall and canyon. Easy parking during our fall visit. 5 minute walk to the overlook. If you have to pick one stop at the canyon this would be it.

One of My Favorite Places

Artist Point is at the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The colors of the canyon are amazing. You can see the Lower Falls from here as well. If you are a fan of the artist Thomas Moran, you’ll see how amazingly...More

Where beauty never dies!

If you stand on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and look at its grand waterfall, which is Lower Falls, you will see a steamy canyon glowing brilliant with pastel yellow, pink and orange with broken patches of green. The 308-foot...More

Stunning

The colors here are beautiful and I can see how it got the name artist point. We could see animal trails in the red wall across from where we were standing. Many people here but worth the stop

Artist point is absolutely stunning. The falls are beautiful. The canyon is equally beautiful. it's called the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and is quite "grand" but much different that the actual Grand Canyon. This is a busy attraction but there are plenty of spots to...More

Answer

Yes.

Is this accessible when the road from Norris to Canyon is open but the road from Canyon to Lake closed in end of April?

January 24, 2018|

Answer

That is difficult to answer/predict. The only reliable method is to watch the YNP website, under "alerts." Road closure and openings are usually announced.

Is this spot still accessible with the construction going on? We will be there the second week in September

Yes it is open, the construction is at Tom's Trail parking area. You will pass it on the way to Artists Point. The parking is limited, September will be easier....but I would still try to get there early. It has one of the... More
