The 10 Best Waterfalls in Wyoming

The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone: 308 feet into the golden canyon, Artist Point's flat walk or the Brink trail's earned close-up.

The Upper Falls' brink platform, where the river leaves the world a few feet from the rail.

Tower Fall between its volcanic pinnacles — Moran's subject, overlook steps from the road (the base trail's been gone 20 years).

Fairy Falls, 197 feet of drifting freefall, sharing its first mile with the Grand Prismatic overlook — the park's best two-for-one.

Undine Falls beside the Mammoth road — the falls you can visit in deep winter, on the only park road that never closes.

Gibbon Falls sliding over the caldera's own rim, wheelchair-accessible boardwalk off the Grand Loop.

Firehole Falls in its lava canyon on the one-way scenic drive — the geyser basins' overlooked side show.

Union Falls, 250 feet of merging lace sixteen backcountry miles deep — Yellowstone's far side, gated until June every year.

Hidden Falls via the Jenny Lake boat across to the Teton wall — $20 shuttle, ten-minute walk, full cathedral.

Shell Falls grinding through billion-year granite beside the Bighorn byway — the great leg-stretch between Cody and the Black Hills.
