    Easy off the road parking and overlook. Cool views of the falls. highly recommend the short walk down from the parking area to full take in the falls.  more »

    This is one of my favorite way stations on the Yellowstone Circle. If you're just entering from the south or west, it's a good chance you might bypass the turnoff because of its nearness to Madison...  more »

    Very big and easy to reach waterfall. You just stop by and by a few meters walking, you can see it. You can also have a broad view to the whole valleys after the waterfall. Easy and short photo point before you going to other places.
