The grand Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River. This is how they
appear, from one of the many surrounding hills. |
|
The less often seen view of the lower falls from the side. There
is a path which runs all along the top of the surrounding hills, from which
there are many fine vantage points. |
|
Clear, blue, and pure, cold mountain water goes over the edge of
the lower falls. |
|
A postcard view of the lower falls. The pine trees in the foreground
should give a bit of perspective to the view. |
|
A look straight down the lower falls. The water turns to mist as
it pounds into the river flowing below. |
|
The lower falls, headpiece of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. |
|
A view just off the side of a viewing platform, built at the edge
of the falls. |
|
A viewing platform sits atop the lower falls. This is a great place
to look down the valley, and to hear the roar of the water. |
|
Water about to go over the edge, as the river bed drops out from
underneath.. |
|
The edge of the platform, as the water thunders past into the mist
at the bottom. |
|
A bit of turbulence here. The water flows very fast here, before
going over. |
|
The long view up the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, up the river,
towards the falls. |
|
A nice perspective of the falls, from a distance. A bit of the river
can be seen twisting off behind it. |
|
The falls, from a tree filled height. |
|
The lower falls, and a length of The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. |
|
Framed by a pair of the local pines, the lower falls appear as if
out of a painting from a hundred years ago. |
