Description
The Lower Falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is one of the most stunning waterfalls in the world. This is looking down river from the top of the falls overlook area with Uncle Tom's Trail set in the green tree-lined area on the right hand side.
The falls are nearly twice as high as Niagara at 308 feet (94 m) but the volume is considerably less, and are located just south east of Canyon Village in Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone Falls consist of two major waterfalls on the Yellowstone River, within Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States. As the Yellowstone river flows north from Yellowstone Lake, it leaves the Hayden Valley and plunges first over Upper Yellowstone Falls and then a quarter mile (400 m) downstream over Lower Yellowstone Falls, at which point it then enters the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which is up to 1,000 feet (304 m) deep.
Cascading from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow, Lower Yellowstone Falls is the largest volume waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The volume of water flowing over Lower Yellowstone Falls can vary from 680 cu ft/s (19 m3/s) in the autumn, to 8,400 cu ft/s (240 m3/s) at peak runoff in late springtime.
