Yellowstone Falls consist of two major waterfalls on the Yellowstone River, within Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States. As the Yellowstone river flows north from Yellowstone Lake, it leaves the Hayden Valley and plunges first over Upper Yellowstone Falls and then a quarter mile (400 m) downstream over Lower Yellowstone Falls, at which point it then enters the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which is up to 1,000 feet (304 m) deep.

Probably the most pictruesque area of the Yellowstone national park is its Grand Canyon. It is approximately 10,000 years old, 32 miles long, in between 250m and 400m deep, and 500m to 1,300m wide. There are three big waterfalls in the Canyon: the Upper and the Lower Falls as well as the less known Crystal Falls in between. The Lower Falls are almost twice as high as the Niagara Falls! The Yellowstone river is running at the bottom of the Canyon. Most of the yellows in the canyon are the result of iron present in the rock.

Many great viewpoints, some directly accessible by car. If you walk a bit along the Rim, you can also spot points that are not so heavily accessed by visitors.
