Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River

Gorgeous! The Falls is so pretty. It was flowing pretty heavily when we visited. Not too far of a walk down, but if there is ice, it can be slippery going down to see it. There are some stairs, so caution should be taken.

💯 recommended place to visit breathtaking views 🥰 However it might get busy and might not get parking space but be patient🤞

Beautiful and stunning but not great view points but lower falls has a nice little hike you can take the dog on and a great view from.up top and down on the hike

Huge fan of waterfalls and the Upper Falls certainly did not disappoint! Haven't made it to the Grand Canyon yet but the ravine coming away from the falls has to resemble it on a small scale. The falls themselves were really beautiful and the scenery in the back drop were out of this world. There were some neat hikes to it as well which is always a plus!

This was the highlight of our trip. It was an overcast and rainy day, but the view was amazing. We drove across the bridge to the first parking lot. From there we took the trail up to artist point. It was a long hike in a paved trail, with a lot of elevation change. The views along the way were superb though.

Upper Falls in Yellowstone National Park is located on the Grand loop road close to Hayden Valley and Canyon Village depending from where you are coming. The parking lot size is pretty decent with restrooms. This is the Yellowstone river which drops to the upper falls and then drops again to lower falls and finally flowing through the canyon. The view of the gushing water is a great spectacle. You can also feel the mist on your face.

The Upper Falls Viewpoints in Yellostone offer some incredibly artistic views. The Falls are beautiful, and mesmerizing. Although there are some viewpoints right off the parking lot, there are others down some easy trails. I highly recommend stopping here if you're visiting Yellowstone!

Best time to be here is after Memorial Day even if the weather looks potentially gloomy the clouds will part and give the visitors some stunning pictures. If you have a camera with a nice telephoto lens or a Bridge Camera superzoom you will have a plethora of opportunities out there. - Hayden Valley and Lamar are just so super duper for wildlife opportunities….. Managed to film this Grizzly sow and her 2 cubs from a good 100+ yards out. Bring your bug repellent you will need it in early June to the end of the month.
