Lower Yellowstone River Falls Yellowstone National Park Wyoming, USA

            This trip to Yellowstone was a last minute detour as who cannot go to Yellowstone when you are within several hundred miles of the park. It has always has been one of my very favourite places, and I have several that I return to over and over. It is never the same, it has been about 10 years since the last time we were there and so many changes, especially the crowds - wow - crazy people and drivers all over!

We did not do all the usual touristy spots with exception of a couple, one being these falls - they are always spectacular no matter the season. We have never been to the park this time of the year, so much snow left all over and all the new spring growth and new babies everywhere, it was amazing. 
These falls to me are the park, Old Faithful is supposed to be the icon of the park, but these falls to me are the icon of the park. With the previous days heavy rainfalls and snow melt, the falls and rivers in the park were fast and furious, so amazing to see as in the fall when we have visited in the past, they have been much smaller and calmer.

Lower Yellowstone Falls has an impressive 94m (308ft) drop into the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and are 21 m (70 ft) wide making it the tallest most impressive waterfall in the park.Most of the yellows you see in the canyon are a result from iron and sulfur in the rock, the dark oranges, brown, and green areas near the river are active hydrothermal features.
