The Upper and Lower Yellowstone Falls, combined with Crystal Falls is known as the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The Upper Falls is a surge of water splashing over rock, framed by lavish trees and vegetation. Hikers who are comfortable with a difficult trail may obtain a better look if they are up to a 500 foot drop down with a 500 foot rise as they rebound. The Lower Falls, actually larger than the Upper Falls, is no less spectacular. A plethora of viewing spaces include the platform at the Brink of the Lower Falls, Red Rock Point and Artist Point, as well as the South Rim Trail.
