What To Expect

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone presents one of nature's most spectacular displays, where the mighty Yellowstone River plunges over two massive waterfalls into a thousand-foot-deep gorge. The canyon's golden walls, painted with splashes of pink, red, and white by ancient thermal activity, frame the legendary Lower and Upper Falls. The 308-foot Lower Falls thunders with particular majesty, while multiple viewpoints along both rims offer awe-inspiring perspectives of this magnificent landscape. Artist Point (Upper Fall) and Lookout Point (Lower Fall) provide especially dramatic views of this natural masterpiece.
