GRAND CANYON OF YELLOWSTONE - THE FALLS

The waters of Yellowstone's Grand Canyon, at approximately 8,000 feet elevation, plunges 1,000 down the canyon. (Double click to enlarge photos). We experienced several snow showers while visiting Yellowstone.

At the bottom of the falls a rainbow appears as the water rushes on its way.


















At the top of the Lower Falls, snow can be seen on the rock wall. After hiking to the Lower Falls, we were quite warm--and that was going down hill.

The water of the Yellowstone River thunders through the canyon. Walking the steep paths, the roar of the river is so great that it feels as if you are right next to the river instead of hundres of feet above.
