Below: Tower Fall is a beautiful waterfall located in the northeastern part of Yellowstone National Park near Tower Junction. The fall plunges a stunning 132 feet. The unusual rock columns north of the fall were created by lava flow as it cracked and cooled. Up until 1986, visitors could see a large boulder perched on the edge of where the fall drops. The boulder fell victim to gravity in June 1986. Visitors can no longer hike to the bottom of the falls because of severe erosion. |

Below: The Brink of Lower Falls Trail quickly drops to a viewing platform perched above the massive, 308-foot tall Lower Falls. The waterfall, which is three times the height of Niagara Falls, is an iconic image of Yellowstone National Park and there is nowhere else in the park where you can be so close to its wild power. |

Below: These falls can be viewed from several places. The below photo shows people in two different spots at different levels. | |
Below: Look across the canyon to see a very steep set of stairs with people viewing the falls from the other side. | |
