Lower Yellowstone Falls

Yellowstone National Park was the first national park in the world and this waterfall is one of the most visited attractions in the park. There are over 40 waterfalls in the park and the Lower Yellowstone Falls are the largest. I have been to Yellowston 5 times but the last time was nearly 20 years ago. There are two large waterfalls on the Yellowstone River inside the park. The upper falls (not pictured) is 109 feet high and the lower falls (pictured below) which are 308 feet high.
This waterfall is in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which is over 1000 feet deep in places. There are a few vantage points to view the falls from and this picture is from lookout point. there is also a trail that leads to an observation point at the brink of the falls where you are only a few feet from the fall.
