Gibbon Falls was a long and ribbon-like cascade on the Gibbon River tumbling a reported total of 84ft in height. We got a top down look at this waterfall from a roadside pullout, and I was able to use the hard barriers here to steady the camera for the pleasing long exposure photo you see at the top of this page. Indeed, this waterfall seemed well suited for that silky effect.
It turned out that this was the most common way to view the waterfall. However, there was apparently another way to get to the base of this waterfall though it seemed to be by far a less common way to see the falls. I only learned about it from the book Rubenstein, et al. book on Yellowstone Waterfalls, but given how that book also talked about some pretty dangerous scrambling, it was hard to tell if we were putting our lives at risk or if that alternate access to the falls was reasonably doable.
In any case, we didn't go that other way. And we most certainly didn't bother trying to find a direct way to the bottom of this waterfall from that roadside pullout. That would have been total folly.
Further down the road towards Madison, we also spotted a different place to view Gibbon Falls more directly. Unfortunately, morning wasn't the best time to do the viewing because the sun was shining against us.
