The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone plunges into the heart of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where powerful water has carved through layers of volcanic rock for thousands of years. Surrounded by towering canyon walls painted in shades of gold, ochre, and rust, the waterfall drops more than 300 feet before continuing through the winding canyon below. Sunlight breaks through passing storm clouds, illuminating sections of the landscape while leaving others in shadow, revealing the immense scale and ever-changing beauty of one of Yellowstone National Park's most celebrated landmarks.
