Canyon Rim South Trail to Artist Point

04/24/22

Beautiful stretch of Yellowstone with endless viewpoints. Check out views on both sides of the falls. Be sure to take it in from Artist Point and also hike down to the top of Yellowstone Falls to see the water going over the cliffs.Note this area of the park is crowded but once you have a parking spot you can easily hike to viewpoints along the rim trail.

Red Rock Point on the north side of the Yellowstone River gives amazing views up and down the canyon and is only a short .3 miles from the North Rim Road. What's crazy is how long it took me to finally visit the falls, and I've lived within two hours of Yellowstone for most of ...
