Barronette Peak Waterfalls

One of the ephemeral waterfalls on Barronette Peak



The Barronette Peak Waterfalls tumble down the cliffs of Barronette Peak rather disjointedly and in a seemingly haphazard manner. The waterfalls are primarily of the temporary ephemeral variety, and I admit that these short-lived falls were our excuse to visit this relatively remote corner of the park.

In fact, I recalled some folks parked alongside the Northeast Entrance Road in front of Barronette Peak shared their spotting scope with us to check out some mountain goats and bighorn sheep high up above living their precariously cliffhanging existence.

Barronette Peak can be seen near the Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. This stretch of road is probably more known for the Lamar Valley, which is a famous and popular wolf-spotting location.

Personally, I think only the most hard core waterfall lover should bother with the waterfalls here. They're really nothing to brag about.

Directions: From the Roosevelt-Tower Junction, leave the Grand Loop Road and drive northeast on the Northeast Entrance Road for over 24 miles to a signpost for Barronette Peak (about 14 miles northeast of Lamar Valley). There are pullouts around here to stop your car.

If you're coming from the northeast entrance, it's a little over 4 miles to the southwest of the park boundary. and the peak is probably better for viewing mountain goats or bighorn sheep if you have a spotting scope. This was the case when Julie and I stopped by the area and a tour guide enthusiastically showed them to us with his scope.
